Voicemail Messages (#vmail) =============================================================================== STORYLINE MISSIONS (#story) =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE COUSINS BELLIC (#rb01) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Daddy's back, you bitches... Daddy's back, you bitches! Niko Dave, come on. [knocking on door] Come on Dave. Hossan Niko? What are you doing? Niko Dave is not coming. Hossan Ah, ignore him. Come on we got to get this thing ready before we dock. [Hossan and Niko climb up a ladder to a higher deck.] Hossan Let's go. Here, pass me that. There. Whooh yeah! There she is... Liberty City. Niko Yeah. Hossan You ever been? Niko No. Hossan Crazy place, Niko. Niko What you going to do? Hossan I might come back on board... or I might try to make a go of it. Like they say, it is the land of opportunity. I always wanted to make it big... own a nice place, get a dog, a house... live the dream! Niko Like my cousin. Hossan Oh yeah? Niko Yes - he's got the lot - house, women, cars, parties... he writes me in these wild emails, and after I got into trouble, I thought maybe uh... and then I got this gig, and I spend the next seven months with you fine people and I forget... After the war finished, I couldn't get a job, nobody could... so I, uh, did some dumb things and got involved with some idiots... Hossan Ahh, we all do dumb things... that's what makes us human. Niko Could be. [They leave the boat and Niko waits for his cousin, Roman.] Roman Niko! My cousin! I can't believe it! You're here! Niko Hey! Roman Welcome to America! Niko [translated] Good to see you, cousin. Roman What? Niko Good to see you, man - what, you forget our language? Roman Uhhh... [translated] cabbages? Maybe a little. I've been here 10 years! You can speak English. Remember, we learned off the English girls with the big... Niko Hey, a little... not so good. Roman Ahh, you'll be fine. Better than my Serbian. So good to see you cousin. I can't believe you made it! Ha! Shit... I have to tell you I had quite a night last night. Two women! The land of opportunity. I've made it! [stumbling around] Shit, man, I'm still a touch drunk. Niko A touch? Roman My cousin is here! Niko Woah! Roman, Roman, come on, come on, relax. Roman We're going to rule the world! Work 1 Yeah, yeah, whatever, buddy. Just take over the world someplace else, alright? Work 2 Yeah, buddy! Take off! Work 1 You're in the Goddamn way. Roman Screw you... screw you all! Work 2 Hey, come on, man! Roman My cousin is here! Niko Bellic! He's the fucking man, bitches! Niko Roman, come on, let's go... to the mansion, eh? Roman Yes, the mansion! Whoa. [stumbles] Maybe you should drive... Niko Maybe I should. Roman Okay! Niko Okay. Hey is this a cab? Where's the sports car? Roman Err, it's in the shop... come on! Roman Drive us to our place on Mohawk, it's just up the road. I'll let you know when we're there. Niko Why don't you show me around the city? Roman Fucking terrorists. Niko What? Roman Terrorists. There's been a big scare and you can't go across the bridges so good. You, without a visa, I would stay in Broker. Fuck it, stay in Hove Beach. Everyone like us does. Niko, you ever had two women at once? Four big titties to be playing with? [translated] I thought I had died and gone to heaven, man. Niko [translated] I can't prove that I have. Roman Cousin, it's been too long... you should have come out earlier. Think of all the girls you've been missing out on! Niko Our country has women too. Roman Yes, but only locals. Here we have white, black, the Puerto Ricans and the Asians, Europeans on vacation, scared Canadians, bored housewives from the Midwest - every possible choice. The city is like a big Uder Milken Ice Cream shop: thirty-six flavors of titty. Hove Beach is our little corner of Eastern Europe. Niko [translated] What a charming image. Hove Beach, next to the docks. Immigrants here do not make it very far from the boats they come in on. Roman No, everyone seems happy where they are. It reminds them of the Black Sea or something - people leave home to hang around the people they ran away from, [translated] very odd. Is just temporary for us though. Our sights are set for the top. Mansions in Berchem, penthouse in Algonquin... a model on each arm - me and my cousin Niko, rulers of the world! Roman We are passing the cab office, Niko. This is the business that will take us to the top of the pile. Niko This is the mansion? Roman Just a temporary place. The mansion is coming, cousin. That's the dream... follow me. Roman Come in, come in! Make yourself at home... what's mine is yours! [stamps on cockroach] Got him! Little bastard. If he paid some rent I wouldn't care. [wiping off shoe] Oh... shit... oh, that's not nice. Ah, cousin, it's so good to see you! Yeah! Hmm... [drops down on bed] Shit... well, I needed to change anyway... So! Niko So... Roman So... Niko So, you full of crap, or what? Roman What? Niko Where's luxury condo? Where's sports car? Where's Barbara with big titties and Stephanie who sucks like a vacuum? Roman What you talking about? Niko In your letters to my mother, in your letters to me... all I hear about is Mr. Big, Mr. Roman, living the American dream. Sports cars, condos, women, money, the beach... opportunity! I come here, and the only thing big about your life is the cockroaches. Roman That's right. I got the best cockroaches, I got the best dirt! Niko Screw you, you idiot! Roman Okay, I'm an idiot, but you must admit I have the best line in bullshit you ever heard. Niko Yeah, this I know. Asshole. Roman But here, all I needed was one good guy. One good guy, I could do well. Not take over the world, but do okay. Now, maybe I have this. But what about you? What about you, cousin? Niko What? What about me? Roman Well... why you leave home after all this time? First, I hear you're running around with the wrong kind, then I hear you joined the merchant navy, now you're here. You never tell me anything. Niko Huh. No. Roman What do you mean no? Niko No, I never tell you anything. Another time. Roman Oooh, mystery man... strange and exotic sailor! What happened? Did your captain make you pregnant? Niko Screw you! No, no, it's nothing like that. The ships were fine. It was before that, two things. You remember, during the war... we did some bad things and bad things happened to us. War is where the young and stupid are tricked by the old and bitter into killing each other. I was very young, and very angry. Maybe that is no excuse... Roman? Roman! Are you sleeping, you fat fuck? Come on! Roman Huh! No! No way! What's the time? Shit... I've got to get the cab back. It's on a shift. [drinks coffee, spits it out] Oh, Jesus! Tastes like a rat shat in it... Niko Roman... Roman Niko, I've got to run, come meet me at the cab office. Niko Jesus... what? Roman It's easy. Out the door, turn left, then the first left at the diner... Niko What are you talking about? I don't... Roman go down one block and turn right on Iroquois... Niko I'm new here... Roman then walk all the way down and we're right there on the left of the corner of Cisco Street. Niko What are you talking about, man? Roman It's really flash. We got lots of titties and some incredible motors... Niko. Give me a hug. Good to have you here cousin... I've got something for you. [phone rings] Oh, damn... damn, damn, damn! [to phone] Yes, Vlad, sorry, forgive me, okay, no... no. Please don't cut my cock off, eh? Oh, okay, bye... yes, no, uh, okay. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IT'S YOUR CALL (#rb02) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roman [to radio] Come on, big guy - either do some work or get out of here. We don't need jokers. Radio Screw you. Roman [to radio] Screw you! [to Mallorie] Baby... when I look into your eyes, it means something. I see little Romans, I see little Mallories, I see stars, I see angels. In my homeland we have a saying... Radio Yeah, we got one too. You're a fag! Roman Shit... [drops the radio] Mal Jesus, Roman, you fuckin' idiota. How can I take you seriously? Niko [enters] Very difficult, I think... Hello, Roman! Hello, Miss... Roman Mallorie, this is my cousin I tell you about, Niko... Mal Hi. Roman Niko, this is Mallorie, the beautiful girl I tell you about... See? Not everything I tell you was bullshit. Mal I bet most of it was. Roman Hey! Mal I hope you're less full of shit than your cousin over here. Niko Thank you. Roman This is the woman that I'm going to marry! Mal Huh! Whatever you say. Vlad [enters] I thought you were going to marry me, baby? Mal Hey, Vlad. Roman Hey... Vlad... great! You're fuckin' crazy, man. Vlad You should lose a few pounds - otherwise this beautiful lady is going to leave you. Roman I know... I'm a fat prick, what can I do? Vlad Pay your debts? Roman I... I will do man. We spoke of this. Vlad No, we didn't speak. You spoke then you say your phone out of batteries. You treat me like a bitch. Roman Never! I'd treat you like an idiot, not a bitch, eh? Vlad I guess it's true... the beautiful women do like the guys with the funny sense of humor. Ho ho. I'm laughing. Roman I'll get you the money. Vlad I know. And Roman... tell this fucking yokel here if he doesn't stop staring at me, I'll have his head chopped off and put a film of it on the internet! [exits] Mal Ouch... Roman Ah... all good... great... Mal Hah! Yeah, fantastic! Look, say what you like, but at least that guy knows how to speak to a lady. Roman Yes, he's all charm. Come on Niko, let's go. Darling... I'll see you later. I've got to take my cousin around some more, get him settled... Roman Niko, you're driving us to a hardware store on Dillon Street. Niko Doing some home improvements, Roman? You going to build this mansion you tell me about? Roman No, funny guy - we going to get money. In America you need money to do anything. You're taking me to a backroom game where I'll win all the dollars we need to really see this town. Nightclubs... women... titties... Niko You can play, right? [translated] You are good at this game? Roman I am the best. I kick all the asses that play me. They call me the Janitor. Niko Because you can't pay your debts and they make you mop the floor? [translated] Incredible. Roman Funny. No! I'm the Janitor because I always clean up. I always win, get it? Niko The Janitor. Sure. I seriously hope your cards are better than your nicknames. Roman Only problem is I'm playing with some money I'm meant to give to these Albanian scumbags. Here's hoping they don't show up, eh? Niko We got loan sharks after us? [translated] Roman? What's going on? Roman After me, and it doesn't matter anyway. When I've played this game I'll have enough money to pay them back ten times. [translated] They're wimps anyway. Niko Why are we going to this hardware store? You need to buy something? Roman No, the business shut down a long time ago. We go there because some guys are playing cards. I'm going to take them for everything they have. Niko I have the feeling only thing you will come out of there with is more debt. [translated] Has always been that way with you, Roman. Roman No, no, this is my game that they play. I have read all the books. You know Car Jabowitz? Niko No. Roman He on TV whole time. The Buffet Car? Come on. Anyway, I read this book, 'May Contain Nuts.' Niko What does this mea... contain nuts? Roman It's about making other players think, you have best cards, make them think you have the nuts in your hand. Niko If you have their nuts in your hand, I believe they will know about it anyway. Roman Stupid question, stupid question. You just need know that I read book and I am very good at game. And I'm going to win lot of money for us. Roman Niko, wait for me here while I go inside to clean up. Shit, I almost forgot. I'm giving you my old phone, my new number's in there. [Roman hands the phone over to Niko.] Roman Call me if some Albanians show up in some shitty beige Willard. Those are the guys I owe money to. Do not hurt them, I know what you're like, Niko Bellic. Niko You and your debts, Roman. [translated] Always the same. Never change. Niko It's all quiet out here Roman, you winning? [translated] Please say yes. Roman Don't worry I'm getting so many bullets it's like I'm an AK. [translated] We're cool. Niko [to self] And this must be the loan sharks. Dardan That is his cab, the fat Roman must be in here. Niko Cousin - two guys are going in the store. I think they are the loan sharks you speak of. Roman Shit, I'm down. Niko You better get out of there. Roman Alright, alright I'm coming. Roman Shit, Niko, it's them, they must have been told I was here. Dardan You are in much trouble, Bellic. Roman Please don't hurt the men after us, cousin. They hate me enough as it is. Get us back to the depot, quick! Niko Alright cousin, I'll lose them. [translated] Not so tough now. Roman Just like the old days, eh? Niko In the old days we were dodging bombs, not loan sharks. Roman Just drive. Leave the funny comments to me. Roman Quick, you take us back to the cab depot. That is Dardan. Dardan You are in much trouble, Bellic. Roman Remember, do not hurt the loan sharks. The debt will just increase. Niko Dardan is your loan shark, yes? Roman My Albanian loan shark. Niko Sorry, I forget, there are many of these men you owe money to. Maybe a few more after this game you just lose. Roman Do you think they saw me? Niko Of course they saw you. I mean - you're a distinctive man Roman. Roman That is why the ladies love me. Fuck those shylocks, they'll get their money. They just have to wait. Niko We should stand up to them. [translated] Where is your pride? Roman Niko, you're new. You don't understand the way things work. Niko Oh yeah? Roman We're at the bottom of the ladder man. These thugs push us around. But they are not to be feared. It is the Russians mobsters, Vlad's bosses, that run everything. Be careful of them. Niko You tell me to behave, Mr. Janitor? If you understand it all, where is the money? Roman I lost it this time, but when I go back the last thing they will expect is for me to take everything. Then I really will clean up. Niko [translated] I will believe when I see, Roman. Roman I do not understand it. I do everything I learn on TV. Everything that I read in the books. I do what Car Jabowitz tell me in "May Contain Nuts." I raise on flop, I ride river, it don't make no sense. Niko [translated] It don't make no sense to me neither. Roman Shit, you ain't going to make sense to no people if you keep speaking in that language. Here in Liberty City, we speak English. Get used to this. Niko The money, the people, all of this noise around us - there is a lot of stuff I must get used to here in Liberty City. I think that speaking this language should be the least of my problems. Roman Sure, I will remind you of that in a few weeks. Roman We're here. You like your phone? Maybe one day you get a premium quality one, like mine. Then you will have really made it. Niko I can only wish. Roman See you later, cousin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THREE'S A CROWD (#rb03) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shit. Need help. Come to the depot quick, man! Rom Niko Hey Roman, I got your text. Roman Great, Niko. I've got my hands full at the moment with these charming money lenders I know. Maybe you should come to the cab office and help me out? Niko I'll see you soon. Roman Come on, Dardan, what's your problem? Dardan I don't have problem. You do. [Dardan points a knife at Roman while Bledar smashes his computer monitor.] Roman Don't be a dick, man... come o... Dardan [choking Roman] Where's your Russian friend now, eh? Roman He's not my friend... he's my loan shark... Niko [enters] Stop this. Dardan Who are you? Niko Get out of here. Roman Niko... Niko Yes. [Dardan threatens Niko with a knife and Niko breaks his arm.] Dardan Oh my arm. Oh! Niko And what about you? Dardan Help me! Help me! [Bledar hops over the desk to help Dardan.] Niko Come on, asshole! Dardan Bledar! Help me! [The Albanians run out of the depot.] Niko Get out of here now! And if you come back, I'll kill you! You understand? Roman You forgot this, you Albanian pricks! [brandishing Dardan's knife] Shit, Niko - what did you do? Niko He was going to stab me! Roman Now he's going to kill you! Niko Fuck him. Roman Look at this mess. Screwed! Again. You want to know why I'm not living in a nice condo, banging four women? It's because of shit like this. Assholes threatening me. Niko Shut up! [Roman's phone rings.] Roman Oh great... Mallorie. [to phone] Hey, beautiful! Huh? Yeah... great. Uh... listen, I'm having a bit of a problem at the office... Umm, I can't do it - Niko can do it... Huh? Do what? Well why would you want me then? Well screw you, then. [to Niko] Great girl... Can you do me a favor? Mallorie needs a lift. Can you go pick her up at the Hove Beach subway station? Niko Yeah... Roman Take the cab. She's got a friend with her. Maybe someone you can date! Niko Fuck you. [exits] Roman Oh man, look at this crap. My computer and everything. Niko Get in, ladies. Mal Hey Niko, thanks for coming. I should have known Roman would find some excuse not to turn up. This is Michelle. Mic Hi. How are you? Mic I live on Rotterdam Hill, up on Mohawk Avenue. You know where that is? Mal How're you finding America, Niko? Niko Not exactly what I expected. Mal Niko, you know what? You need someone to show you a good time. Michelle, how about you? Mic Mallorie. Stop it! Mal Come on you guys. You're both single, you're adults. Take her number, Niko. Mic Hey, I'd like to see you again, Niko. You look like that kind of guy I want to get to know. Mal You look like you just jumped off the boat, Niko. Handsome man like you should get some new threads. Mic I think he looks fine the way he is. Mal I don't think he even changed out of those things on the journey. How are you going to impress a classy girl like Michelle? Mic I'm easily impressed. Mal I know you are, sweetie, and I just don't get it. Mic My place is over on Mohawk Avenue. Niko I can find it. Mal You're settling in pretty good, aren't you, Niko? You're staying with Roman, he got you a good job and all he needs to do now is find you a woman... What you think of Michelle here? Mic Come on, Mallorie. This is embarassing. Are you trying to set us up? Mal I'm trying to get you two together so Niko will stop taking up all of Roman's time. Niko I do not mean to keep Roman away from you. Mal I know you don't. He just loves you is all. And I think Michelle might too. Mic Come on. Mal Alright, but you like him, right? You both like each other so why don't you just go on a date? It never hurt anyone. Here's her number, Niko. Mic It sounds like we aren't being given much of a choice on this one. Niko No, I guess not. Mic Well, you look like the kind of guy I'd like to get to know, Niko. Mal He looks like he can't afford to eat. Get yourself some nice clothes. You gotta look good if you're going to date a girl like Michelle. Mic I don't know, I think he looks... interesting... foreign. Mal Thanks for the lift, Niko. Mic Yeah, thanks. Gimme a call sometime. Niko See you soon, Michelle. Niko Cousin, I dropped the girls off. The friend gave me her number, but I don't think Mallorie likes my clothes so much. Roman I know just the place for you, it's on Mohawk in Hove. Go and get something a bit more twenty-first century. Niko Roman, I have taken your Mallorie and her friend where they wanted to go. Michelle gave me her number. Roman This is a good first step. The next step is to get some clothes that will impress. I know a good place for you on Mohawk in Hove Beach. Get something a bit more American. Niko Hey Roman, I got some clothes. It looks like they brought the stuff in from the Old Country though. Roman We must take what we can get, When the big money rolls in, then we will look real classy. Anyway, you have Michelle. A classy girl for your arm. You should definitely keep dating her. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIRST DATE (#mk1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Niko Hey, Michelle, it's Niko. Roman's cousin. Mic Oh, Hi. How's it going? Niko Good, I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me sometime? You know, on a date? Mic Yeah, sure. That could be fun. Yeah, I'd like to get to know you, Niko. Why don't you come over to my place whenever? See you soon! Mic Hey Niko, it's Michelle. We met with Mallorie, Roman's girlfriend. Niko I remember, what's up Michelle? Mic I don't normally do this, but I thought you'd be pretty lonely having just moved to Liberty City and all. Niko You do not normally do what? Mic You're not making this easy for me, are you? I'm asking you out on a date. Niko I am sorry, I am still not used to how things work here in America. A date would be good. I am getting sick of hanging out with Roman all the time. How about I pick you up from your apartment? Mic That sounds good. See you soon. Roman Niko, Bledar has me cornered in the courts under the El Train on Firefly. Niko What does he want? Roman I can't think what he could possibly want or why he's be pissed off, can you? Come on guys, let's be reasonable. [Niko knocks on her door.] Mic Coming... Who is it? Niko Hey, it's Niko. Mic Hey... I'm just finishing my hair. Come in. [She opens the door and lets him in.] Niko Thank you. Mic I'll be with you in a minute. Niko Did you just move in? Mic No... why? Niko All your stuff is new. Some even still have tags on. Mic Yeah well... I like things clean. Niko I can see that... but, er... everything is new. Mic Yeah. I'm kind of obsessed with cleanliness... things get on my nerves and I just throw them out. OCD or something? Niko Oh. Mic So... where you taking me? Niko Ah... you look good. Mic Aw, thanks... Niko I don't know - I'm new here. I thought maybe we could go to the, uh... funfair. Mic Yeah, great! Let's go - love the funfair! Actually we call it, um, "carnival" here. Just a little difference. Ah... whoop-de-doo! Niko So, Michelle, what do you like to do? Mic What do you like to do? Niko Come on, I asked you first. Mic I like to keep active I guess. Sports, working out, things like that. I'd like to know about you though. See the places you hang out. Niko Yeah, maybe another time. Niko I feel like I should have been more organized. Had a better plan for our date. What do you like doing? Mic I just want to get to know you, Niko. See the places you hang out. The people you associate with. Niko You already know Roman. I don't hang out with anybody else really. Mic You will, give it some time. Mic So, Niko, why couldn't you come on the date earlier? What happened? Niko Roman got himself into some trouble. I had to help him out. Mic Really? Does Roman get himself into a lot of trouble? Is he involved in criminal stuff? Niko Roman? He's made some mistakes, got involved with people he shouldn't have but really he is a legitimate businessman. Mic What about you? Niko I'm just trying to make the right decisions. Mic The carnival's closed, Niko. I think some big developers have bought it or something. There's a bowling alley over on the boardwalk. Why don't we play a few frames? Niko Cool. Let's go bowling then. Mic Thanks for taking me out. I haven't been on a date for a while. I'm kind of lonely here. Niko I though you were doing me a favor by going out with me. Mic I'm not a local in Liberty City. I came here from somewhere... Niko Where? Mic Oh, the midwest. You probably know more people here than me. Niko More assholes, maybe. Mic It's nice to get out of the apartment. Niko Why's that? You do a lot of work or something? Mic I'm working the whole time. Sometimes I think all I am is my job. Niko A lot of people feel that way. It's hard to keep what you do from taking over your life. Mic You're right there. Niko So, you don't know many people here in Liberty City. No boyfriends or husbands or anything? Mic No, I guess I'm married to my job. Niko Well, what do you do? Mic What do you do? Niko Come on, I asked first... Mic I work with Mallorie. What do you do, exactly? Niko You're a hard girl to talk to, Michelle. Mic I guess you're not used to talking to American women. Niko I guess. Mic So what are you doing here in Liberty City, Niko? Niko What's anybody doing here? I don't know. Mic I think you do. There must be something that made you leave your home and come here. Niko Roman's bullshit stories maybe. I just felt like I needed a new start. Mic There's nothing else about Liberty City? Just Roman? Niko Maybe there is more to this place, I'm not sure yet Mic That was nice. I'm really interested in seeing you again. Niko Yeah. That would be good. I'll give you a call. Mic Please do, Niko. See you soon. Roman Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to protect me from those crazy loan sharks you attacked, Niko. Niko You shouldn't have borrowed money from them in the first place, Roman. Anyway, I was seeing Michelle. I thought you wanted me to date her? Roman Not when it means me getting beat up and sent to the hospital. Come and pick me up, cousin. And at least tell me you got her titties out? Maybe then your betrayal would be worthwhile. They were nice titties, yes? Niko You're an animal, Roman. Nothing can stop you being horny. I'll see you soon. Roman There is the man who chose cooch before his cousin. I hope she was worth it. Will you drive me back to the office, cousin? Argh. Roman How was she cousin? Tell me how she was. I wondered about Michelle when I first met her. If she was not a friend of Mallorie's it would be me with the smell of tittie on my breath and you who ended up in hospital. Niko Firstly Roman, my breath does not smell of titty. Secondly, I don't think that your loan shark friends could hospitalize me. I can look after myself. Roman All the more reason why I should have hooked up with Michelle. Everyone would be a winner. Niko Yes, well, I will not let these men treat you like that again. I'm sorry for letting you down, Roman. Niko Roman, I apologize again for not being there for you. You have done a lot for me since I got here. Roman The choice between some titties and your safety would have been difficult for me as well. Don't worry, Niko. Call me soon. Roman Shit, Niko. Bledar has me trapped again. This is all your fault. Niko Okay, Roman. I'm not going to let something else get in the way this time. Where are you? Roman Over on the courts under the El Train on Firefly. Bledar, buddy, you proved your point the first time... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLEED OUT (#rb04) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roman Listen, Dardan is a good friend of mine. It was a misunderstanding... oh! [Kalem kicks Roman.] Niko Hey! Bledar [to Kalem] Shit, there he is. Keep on fatboy here, and I'll talk to him. [to Niko] Our problem's with your cousin. Niko I told you to stop. Now it's too late. Niko You alright, cousin? Roman Yeah, fine. Fucking loan sharks, man. If one more of these gangsters tries to... [They spot Dardan outside the courts.] Roman Speaking of shitheads, here's Dardan. Come on, my car is over there, let's get him. You drive. I don't feel so good. Roman These guys think that they're better than me. They think they can fuck me around and beat me up because there are more of them. Not any longer. Me and you, Niko, me and you are going to show them. Fucking Dardan smashing my fucking stuff. Who does he think he is? Just some fucking petty Albanian hood. If I wanted to buy a stolen TV I'd go to Dardan. Who does he think he's fucking with? Bellic Enterprises, that's who. We're going to the top, Niko, the top. Niko For now, let's just try to survive, cousin. Roman Ever since I got to Hove Beach, Niko, ever since I arrive here I have been pushed around. Vlad, Dardan, Bledar, even Mallorie push me around. Me and you, Niko, me and you going to be in control from now on. Ain't going to let no one push us around. Going to stand up to all these pimps and loan sharks from now on. Liberty City won't know what hit it, man. We going to own this town, Niko. Mark the words that are coming out of my mouth. Roman Dardan is stopping, he trying to get away on foot. Niko Shit! I told myself I wouldn't kill anyone in this country! Niko Dardan ain't a problem for you no more, cousin. Roman Nice one, cousin. Drive back to the depot, these bruises are starting to pain. Niko These men, these shylocks lick Dardan, they always try to squeeze you for everything. A man in Europe, another Russian... Bulgarin. He live on the Adriatic. Believed I owed him money when I did not. He made my life impossible. There was no avoiding him. Roman Did you deal with him like you did Dardan and Bledar? Niko He had too many connections for that. I had to leave. He is one of the reasons I came here. Roman And to see your cousin, of course. Niko Of course. Roman We will have no more problems from now on, cousin. It is all plain sailing straight to the top for you and me. Niko We will see if things are that simple. Niko What is it? Roman I think he broke my rib. Man that hurts. Shit. I need a massage. We should go out and find some ladies, get some massage oil. Niko What about Mallorie, Roman? You shouldn't stay with her if you want to have these threesomes. Roman It doesn't matter. Argh, I think I'm in too much pain anyway. Fuck. Niko You really are American. You don't even swear in our language. Roman You say this now, but soon even you will forget about the Old Country. Niko We shall see. I have reasons to remember it. I saw bad things happen there. You do not know what it is that... Roman Urghgh... I think it must be two ribs. Those fucking punks. What were you saying? Niko It doesn't matter. Roman Thank you, cousin, I'll see you later. Niko, where did you go? I couldn't find you. Did something important come up? Are you involved with some bad people? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EASY FARE (#rb05) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vlad Come on, hottie, forget about the fat serf. Mal Vlad! Shut up! [Niko enters] Vlad But he's a serf, and you're a countess. Talking about serfs... Mal Oh, hey Niko. Niko Where's Roman? Mal Huh. Good question. Vlad Hey, yokel. Your dumb cousin isn't here. Go get me a coffee. Niko What? Vlad Get me a fucking coffee! [Niko stares at him.] Vlad Come on... I'll get you one... What? You keep staring at me, I'll burst one of your eyeballs. Gorgeous, this guy's a fucking creep! Mal Give him a break. He's new in the country. Vlad I can see that. Did you walk here from nineteen eighty five? Niko Yeah. Vlad Excellent! Now stop fucking staring at me. I mean, I know I'm good looking and everything, but come on. Roman [enters] Aah, hey, Mallorie. Hey man! Niko Hey. Vlad Huh. About time. Roman Vlad... Vladdy boy... what's going on? Vlad Roman! Roman boy... you tell me what's going on. Roman Nice aftershave! What is that? "Sex Pest"? Vlad No, it's "Where Is My Fucking Money?" Roman I had it, I had some of it... then those Albanians you said you would deal with came and smashed my computer. Vlad So it's my fault? Roman I didn't say that... Vlad Good. Roman Anyway, Niko dealt with them... broke Dardan's arm, then beat up a couple more. Then we teach them a real lesson. Vlad Is that so? I'll tell you what... while you don't pay, maybe you and Niko can do me a few favors. Roman Sure. Vlad Good. Roman Why not? Mal Later, Vlad. [Vlad leaves.] Roman What? Mal The phone's ringing. Roman [to phone] Hey? Yeah.. okay... no, I can't do it; my cousin will do it... Yes he can drive... No, he's not a cop. His name is Niko. He'll be right over. [to Niko] Niko, sorry to ask, cousin... can you go pick up Jermaine, one of my regulars? He's over on Rotterdam Hill on Mohawk Avenue. Niko Whatever. [exits] Roman What was this all about? Mal Niko came in looking for you and Vlad told him to get him a fucking coffee and Niko didn't want to. Roman Coffee? What was he thinking? Mal I know. Jerm Thanks for coming. Can you take me over to Masterson Street? Niko Masterson Street it is, Jermaine. Jerm Shit. I thought Roman was gonna pick me up. I need someone I can trust for this run. Niko I'm Roman's cousin. If you can trust him, you can trust me. Jerm Ahh, he told me about you. You're Niko, right? The hotshot lady's man, cruising around the Mediterranean, breaking hearts and making millions? Niko Yeah, I traded in the yacht for this cab. That's exactly the kind of bullshit I can imagine Roman making up. You've got to give him credit for his imagination. Jerm Yeah, you gotta. I had a feeling you sounded too good to be true. The question is, are you willing to get your hands dirty? Niko My hands haven't been clean for a long time. Being here in Liberty City is just making them dirtier. Jerm Ok, ok. I've got to pick up some hot parts from my lockup, you down? Niko I ain't got no problem with that. Just don't tell me if you stole this shit from a hospital or a school for sick kids. My conscience is troubled enough already. Jerm Where's Roman? Are you a cop? You've got to tell me if you're a cop. That's the law. Niko Actually, I don't think I would have to tell you if I was a cop. That's just some bullshit that cops circulate to trick people into doing deals with them. Jerm So, you're not a cop? Niko No, I tried to join the LCPD. Jerm Yeah... Niko I'm Niko, Roman's cousin. Jerm Shit, you shoulda told me that. Jesus. You nearly gave me a heart attack. I wouldn't want no cop driving me to pick up a load of hot parts. Niko You shouldn't have said that, Jermaine. I've grounds to arrest you now. Jerm Ha ha. That's a joke, right? A funny fucking joke. You should let your cousin stick to the jokes. Making funny don't suit you. Jerm That door isn't meant to be open. Wait here while I take a look. [Jermaine gets out to check the garage, and several police cars drive in, sirens wailing.] Jerm The cops are onto me. Get us out of here! [He gets back in.] Jerm That's a weight off my mind. Jerm So, what brings you to Liberty City, Niko? Niko Roman, I guess, and some other things. I'm looking for something. Jerm Good luck finding them. How's the hunt been going so far? Niko It has not really started yet. I'm getting settled in, you know? Roman has had some issues with loan sharks that needed to be resolved. There's this asshole called Vlad who he owes money to as well... Jerm Good luck with that... Jerm Did you come to Liberty City to drive cabs then? Niko No, I didn't. Just like every other chump who gets off a boat here, I thought things might be more exciting. This is just the beginning. It seems I need to sort out my cousin's life before I can work on my own. Jerm Oh yeah, what's wrong with Roman's life? Niko He appears to owe money to half of Hove Beach. I got rid of one group of loan sharks but this asshole, Vlad, he has his hooks into him as well. Jerm Roman is lucky to have you here, Niko. Jerm Okay, we're here. Thanks man. Keep looking after Roman, a'ight. Niko Roman, I got your friend, Jermaine, where he wanted to go. Roman Good Niko, thanks, thanks... can't talk, see you soon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JAMAICAN HEAT (#rb06) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roman [to radio] Head into town.

Musco I'm going to, I have just been having the trouble getting it together. Vlad is impatient man. Niko You will be getting the money to him soon, or your wife shall be using your washing machines to get blood out of your clothes. Do you understand? I do not ask twice for a favor. Musco I understand. I will get it to him. I thought this country was different. Niko I spoke to the Laundromat owner. He gets the message. He will pay you now. Vlad I like your style. You can be an intimidating guy. It's a shame everybody knows what a stupid yokel you are when you open your mouth, eh? Come back to the bar soon. Roman Niko, how you doing? This is so much fun. Niko You know Roman, I haven't been having that much fun since I got here. Has been a lot like hard work. Roman Well, you should hang out with your cousin more often. Niko Maybe that is the problem. Roman Ha ha. I'm sitting here with Brucie. Well, we're sitting here and calling the cops and watching them show up and look around. The fucking stupid bastards. Niko You shouldn't cry wolf, Roman. Who knows when you will really need help. Roman Fuck, I think they see us. Have to go, Niko. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CLEAN GETAWAY (#vg3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vlad Ahh, yokel there you are, okay. Niko Vlad. Vlad Come on, let's go for a walk, okay? Niko Right. Vlad Okay, come on. [They walk outside, down the road.] Niko Where are we going? Vlad To my car. Niko Why? Vlad Because of your cousin owing me a lot of money and until he pays me, your fresh off the boat yokel ass is mine. What the fuck you mean why? [Vlad shoves people out of his way as he heads down the sidewalk.] Niko Hey, you're a pretty relaxed guy, huh Vlad? Vlad Come on. [translated] Move, you old hag. [to Niko] Come on, yokel. Niko What's wrong with you? You gonna jump me? Vlad No... I had a late night last night. Spent it with . Niko Great. Vlad Yeah... wild. Niko So who the hell is Mikhail? Vlad Mikhail's the man... shit my nose is bleeding. Is my nose bleeding? Niko No. Not yet. Vlad Fuck face. Come on. [He walks in front of a moving car.] Vlad Wait! I'm walking here. Let's go. Damn city always trying to run you down, huh? [Some vagabond steps out of an alley and tries to say something.] Vlad Get a job, you deadbeat crack head. [Vlad kicks him away.] Vlad Man, where do these people get off? Like I'm gonna pay for their drug habits? Well say something... you're so fucking laid back. Moron! Come on. [They get in Vlad's car, and he starts snorting coke.] Vlad Want some? [Niko refuses.] Vlad Good. Niko We walked all the way down here so you could snort coke? Vlad No... listen, aaah, that's better... agh that's better. Man, Mikhail gets the good stuff... it's got some laxative in it, though... gives you stomach problems. Niko Nice detail. Vlad Yeah, listen, ah... where were we? Niko I don't know. Vlad Oh yeah... So, I need you to head up to Dukes and get a car for me. It's a silver Blista, and it's parked in the projects by E.I.C. subway station, okay? Niko Sure. You got keys? Vlad Err, no, yokel, I need you to take the car. Asshole owes Mikhail some money. Take his car instead, eh? Niko We gonna drive over there. Vlad What? Niko Are we going to drive over there? Vlad No, you're gonna take the train, buddy. You think I wanna be in a car with a peasant? Come on, I'm gonna go meet somebody... have a little party... Niko Okay. Fine. [Niko gets out and Vlad drives off.] Niko Have fun... dick head. Niko This car belong to Vlad? Jimmy No, it's mine, who asking? Niko It belongs to Vlad now. You should pay your debts. Jimmy You that fat Russian's bitch? Just try and take. Niko I have your new car, Vlad. It's not pretty though, real dirty. Vlad Dirty? I can't sell a dirty car. I know your cousin likes them dirty. Maybe your whole yokel family drive around in their dirty cars but it's not the way over here. Fucking peasants don't do nothing right. Niko Hey, I could fuck this car up worse than a little dirt. Vlad Relax man. You should lose your edge. There's a carwash over on Saratoga Avenue. Just take it there and then to my lockup just off Mohawk. Did they give the car up easy? Niko It was easy. I didn't even have to hurt the guy. Vlad Good, dead guys can't pay interest, you're learning. Niko He's a little bruised, but he gave it up easy enough. Vlad Good, dead guys can't pay interest, you're learning. Niko He was reluctant, he is dead now. Vlad Stupid bastard, at least I got my money. Niko I put the car in your lockup. Vlad You not as stupid as you look, yokel. Come back to see me at the bar soon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IVAN THE NOT SO TERRIBLE (#vg4) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mickey Hey, how ya doing? [Seeing Vlad isn't around, Niko sits down at the bar.] Niko Hey, Mickey. Mickey What'll you have? Niko Glass of water. Mickey Glass of water. [Vlad walks in the back and pokes his finger into the back of Niko's head.] Vlad Bang, bang, you are dead. Wake up, you moron. Niko You got me. Vlad Come over here. Sit down. You remember Ivan? Niko No. Vlad Guy you saw me talking to. This guy. Er... this guy? [He shows him a picture from his phone.] Niko Oh, yes. You guys had a little kiss. Vlad Very funny... what would you say if I told you he was going to rob your cousin? Niko I'd say... what problem has he got with my cousin? Vlad Hold on. [to phone] Hey, hey, hey gorgeous... no, I can't talk right now... What are you wearing?... No, I mean underneath it... great... Listen, I'll call you back, eh? [to Niko] Sorry. Niko Who was that? Vlad Never you mind. Niko Was it Ivan? Vlad Ooh, that's funny. You know, for a dumb yokel, you're a very funny guy. Niko Yes, and for an annoying dick, you're really an annoying dick. Vlad Well, it's a real shame, then, that I'm the guy with the powerful friends, and you're the little punk whose only friend is some fat weasel who drives a fucking cab... Niko So... why is Ivan going to rob my cousin? Vlad Because I want you to kill him. Niko What? Vlad He's angered Mikhail... Mr. Faustin. Offended him. He thinks he's stealing some paperwork from Roman. You catch him, and kill him... then we say it was just a robbery that failed. Niko And what if I say I don't want to be your hitman? Vlad Then Mr. Faustin will be very angry with you... and your cousin. Niko Hmm, okay. Vlad I knew we would understand each other, once I put it in this simple way. Now, go wait for him by the cab depot! [Niko leaves.] Vlad [to phone] Hey gorgeous, yeah where were we?... Okay now listen, let's talk about tonight... Niko There ain't nowhere left for you to run. Ivan Please. Vlad told you to kill me, right? I wasn't stealing nothing from your cousin's place! Vlad told me to go there. Let me go and I'll lay low. No one's going to know that I'm alive. Not even my mother. I'll stay out of Hove Beach. I'll be a ghost. I promise. Please! Niko I promised to deal with you. I don't break promises. [Niko kicks him off the roof; he falls dead upon the sidewalk.] Niko Ivan is dead. He came to a sticky end. Vlad Hey, you and your cousin's girlfriend should get together. She likes sticky finishes as well. Niko Fuck you. Say that to my face and I will break you. Niko Get up. [He helps Ivan back up to the roof.] Niko If Vlad wants you dead, you can't be all bad. Stay out of Hove Beach. Ivan Thank you. You won't regret this, man. I am outta here! Wanted to leave anyway, get away from all these people from back home. Get into the real America. You never gonna see me around here again. I owe you my life, man. You're a good man, you're a good man, thank you. Niko You won't be seeing your boyfriend Ivan no more. You going to miss him? Vlad No I'm not. I'm getting enough pussy at the moment. I tell you, is so much better if woman already have a man. Because you don't have to deal with all their shit all day. Take Mallorie, for example... Niko Fuck you. Say this to my face and I will break you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UNCLE VLAD (#rb07) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Niko Hey, what's wrong? Roman Hey, cousin. Bullshit. Niko What's bullshit? Roman Mallorie. Niko Oh. What about her? Roman I like her... I really like her... Niko But you keep messing around with other women. Roman Yeah... no. I think she's messing around with Vlad. I saw his car parked outside her place the other day. Niko Yeah... Roman You knew? Niko I had suspicions. Roman You fucking knew? Niko What was I going to say? Roman You knew my woman was banging this warthog and you didn't do anything? Niko I didn't... Roman You didn't say anything? Niko I didn't know! Roman You're an asshole, Niko Bellic, a disloyal user. After what I did for you, you dick! You fucking dick! Niko I'm sorry! Roman Screw you. Niko Alright, so you want me to deal with it, right now? Roman No. Sit down. Niko No! I'm not going to stand here and have you call me disloyal. You might let some Russian asswipe bang your woman, but I won't. Roman But you fucking did! Niko That before I knew you cared! You always were a hypocrite. [Niko walks out.] Roman Niko... wait. Don't do anything stupid. Wait for me! Roman Tell me you're just blowing off some steam... You're going for a little drive... you're going to leave Vlad alone, right? Roman Don't do anything stupid, cousin. Niko Nothing as stupid as letting that fat swine give it to Mallorie. Roman Hey, it happens, we have an open relationship. I do my thing, she does hers. Maybe next time I might watch them at it... Urgh... to watch his fat, hairy, sweaty back going up and down. I can't take it. How could she do this? Niko I knew you cared. I have to do this. Roman Cousin, this is crazy. We got each other. We don't need women in our lives. I getting tired of Mallorie. She's too old for me anyway. Niko You have been pushed around too much, Roman. You let these people use you, use me. They will not use Mallorie as well. She is too good for that. Roman She's too good for me. Vlad should have her. Niko I will show Vladdy what he can have. Roman Wait Niko, you have to think this through. Niko Stay out here, let the big boys have their conversation inside. Vlad Gimme a drink. Mickey You got it. Vlad Anyway... [translated] Cabbages? Why eat cabbages when you can have potatoes? [Him and his goons laugh. Niko walks in.] Niko Hey. Vlad [translated] Potatoes... Niko Vladdy boy! I'd like a word with you. Vlad What are you doing here? Did I summon you... boy? Niko I told you to stay away from Mallorie. Vlad Go away! Niko And now Roman is upset. Vlad Oh, Roman is upset. Excuse me. Do you think I give a fuck, peasant? [Roman walks in.] Vlad Oh, there he is. Hey fatty, I'm sorry you're so upset. Boo fucking hoo. Roman Hey, Vlad, can't we just talk about this? Niko Hold on. You stay away from Mallorie. Vlad I must be hearing things... I could have sworn for a minute this ratty little yokel told me what to do. Did you hear that boys? Goon Yeah. Vlad Now... get them out of here! Roman Alright, he's running away. We win, let's go home. Niko I'm not walking away until this thing is finished. Roman It is finished, he's running. We won't see him again. Niko He'll come back. The only thing that will hold him down is six feet of dirt. Roman Forget about Mallorie. Plans change and... you know, when Vlad is done with her... Niko Grow a fucking spine. You think Vlad won't come after us when I am chasing him like this? I have to end it, here and now. Roman Shit, I don't like this. Fuck... fuck. Roman You scared him good, Niko. He's going to stay away from Mallorie for sure. Niko I am not done with Vladdy yet. Not even nearly am I done with him. Roman Come on, Niko. This is stupid. All for a woman. We should not throw everything away for one girl. Niko This is principle, we do this because we will not be stepped upon. By doing nothing, we let Vlad take everything from us. Niko Keep your head down, I'm going to finish this. Roman Stop, Niko... shit! Vlad Fucking yokel, you think you can get away with killing me? Niko I guess I'll find out. Vlad You think this is worth it? You're throwing you and your fatty cousin's lives away for that bit of Puerto Rican chocha. Niko I'm throwing your life away, prick. We'll do alright. Vlad My friends will track you down, you won't last a moment. Niko I'll last longer than you will, shithead. Vlad Fuck you, I wish I could be there to watch Mikhail cut your peasant balls off. Vlad Hove Beach is a small place, my friends will find you. [Niko shoots him in the head.] Niko You were the stupid one, Vladdy boy. Nobody fucks with my family. [Niko drags Vlad's body toward the water. Roman runs over.] Niko Eeeh, you're a big boy Vladdy. Roman Niko! Niko Well, I guess this is over. Roman What have you done? Niko What does it look like? Roman We're dead! Niko No, he's dead... we're fine. Roman He has powerful friends... serious people... I told you to be calm you hot headed chump! Niko I am calm. He tried to kill us. He screwed your girlfriend. What do you expect? I give him a massage? Roman Shit! Shit! Shit! Niko When I was in the army... we were going on a mission... to ambush a squad who had killed a lot of innocent people. They were our enemies... but we never did it. There were fifteen of us. All boys from the village. But one of us betrayed the group. It was a setup... for money! Twelve people died, three escaped. I know the traitor was not me... So for ten years I've been searching for the other two. One of them lives here. Roman Why are you telling me this now? Do you always get sentimental after you kill people? Niko You kept asking... Roman Wonderful! You're here on some revenge mission for something that happened ten years ago. And you don't care whose life you ruin on the way? Niko No. Roman Well what? Niko I don't know... I just want to know why they did it. Who Let's hide the body, at least for a while... Who Put him in the river... [Together, they roll his body toward the water. A siren wails in the distance.] Roman Shit. We should get out of here. Niko You go. I'll catch up with you later. [Roman runs off, and Niko finishes the job.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CRIME AND PUNISHMENT (#rb08) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roman [quietly] Niko, Niko. Are you there cousin? Niko Roman, I'm here. What are you doing? Why do you whisper? Roman I am on Tulsa Street, near Perestroika. Come Niko, quick. Niko Where are you, Roman? [Roman pops out of the dumpster on the corner.] Roman Psst, Niko! Niko [laughing] Roman! What are you doing in the dumpster, man? Roman Are they there? Niko What are you talking about... get out of there, man. Roman I'm freaking out, man. I'm being followed... I saw them... Niko Don't be ridiculous. You're being paranoid. Roman I'm being? Fuck you. Fuck you... everything was fine, and then you show up... and now we're dead... because Faustin is a psychopath... he's going to kill us... because we killed Vlad. Vlad was his man... that's how it works... you kill their guy, they kill you! Niko Roman, get out of there, man. Listen to me, Vlad was a piece of trash. They don't care about him. All they care about is making money. So, we say we work for them. Now get out of there, you smell like cabbage. Roman I don't want to, man. I'm shitting myself. [Andrei shows up behind Niko and knocks him out with the butt of a rifle. Roman tries to duck back into the dumpster.] Andrei Get out of the dumpster, Mr. fat man. [He knocks on the dumpster with the rifle. Roman slowly rises.] Andrei Come on, fatty, the boss wants a little chat. [Dimitri slaps Niko in the face.] Dimitri Wake up. [pointing to Roman, tied up] We had to gag him, to stop the screaming. You shouldn't have brought them here, Andrei. Andrei Why not? [Dimitri heads upstairs.] Andrei You've been a bad boy, Mr. Balkan... and the boss is not happy. Niko Oh no! I shit my pants! Andrei Not yet, but you will. Who are you working for? Niko Errr, my cousin, Roman. Andrei Don't be an idiot. That's not good enough. I'm going to saw off your fucking arm. Speak! Niko Okay, okay, your dad likes it up the ass... [laughing] what do you want me to say, huh? [Andrei smacks Niko twice with a hacksaw.] Andrei Very funny... do you think you're so smart? Niko No. I'm tied up in a basement a long way from home, while some ape threatens me with a hacksaw, so no, I'm not that smart. [Dimitri returns down the stairs with Faustin. Andrei stands over Niko with the hacksaw.] Faustin Shut the fuck up. My fucking wife is watching television. Good Lord... what are you doing? Andrei Nothing... I mean... I was finding out who he is... Faustin And? Who is he? Niko He is... his cousin. Faustin You were about to cut up some guy in my house, making all that noise, to find out he is his cousin? [to Dimitri] Where did you find this idiot? Dimitri He was a friend of your sergeant, when we were in Vladivostok. Faustin He's an imbecile. So, Niko Bellic. You think it's okay to kill my employees? Niko If he is an asshole, yes. [Faustin turns to Andrei and shoots him in the head. Roman tries to scream through the gag.] Faustin I agree. Dimitri Mikhail! Faustin Asshole look at me like I am piece of shit. Dimitri [translated] Oh my God. Faustin Now listen... Niko Bellic. You are very lucky Vlad was an idiot. The only reason I keep him around is because I fuck his sister. Look at me. You owe me. I got some dickheads in my neighborhood trying to run a shipment, yeah? Dimitri And we've found a buyer for the TVs. Faustin Yes, a buyer, but you've got to get them for us so we can make the sale. Niko Can you untie Roman? Faustin [translated] Yes. [Dimitri removes Roman's gag.] Roman [shouting] Help! Help me! Niko Shut up Roman. Faustin Shut up! Roman [shouting] Help me! Help! Niko Roman shut up. Faustin Shut him up! Dimitri What do you want me to do? Roman Aaah! Aaah! Niko Shut up Roman! Faustin Shut the fuck up! Dimitri He's just screaming that's it! I can't make him shut up! Niko Roman, shut up! [Faustin shoots Roman in the gut.] Faustin Shut up! Niko Fuck! Dimitri Mikhail! Stop shooting people, you maniac! Faustin My wife doesn't like when people shout! Dimitri Whatever! Faustin You better get those screens soon. Or I will personally pull your cousin's stitches out, one by one, and watch his guts spill onto the floor. [to Dimitri] Clean this shit up. [Faustin heads back upstairs. Dimitri unties Niko.] Dimitri Listen, we'll take care of your cousin, but you better get a police car, and then you call me. [Niko goes over to check on Roman.] Niko Roman. Roman! Dimitri Go, go, go. I... I'll take care of him. Niko Fuck! [Niko leaves while Dimitri unties Roman.] Niko I have the police car, what now? Dimitri The van is driving around South Broker. Pull it over, take it to our lockup on Dukes Drive. Niko Be more specific. How many vans you think there are in South Broker? Dimitri That is a problem for you and your cousin, not me. Keep pulling vans over until you find the TVs. Goodbye. Niko Get out of there or you're fucking dead. Driver You making a mistake, we paying protection money to Kenny Petrovic. Niko Show me you don't got any flatscreens in the back. Passngr Big fucking mistake. Niko I left the van where you say. How's Roman? Dimitri He's ok. A little scarred, but ok. You did good. Mikhail needs someone like you. Stop by and see him sometime. Roman Niko, hello. Niko Roman, are you alright? Roman I was just shot in the stomach and then stitched up in a doctor's office that was dirtier than the basement we were nearly tortured in. I'm great. Niko You sound calm, actually. Roman That Dimitri guy gave me some painkillers, I'm kind of out of it. If you're near a shop can you pick up some adult diapers for me? See you later, Niko. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DO YOU HAVE PROTECTION? (#mf1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Niko knocks, Dimitri opens the door.] Dimitri Hey, Niko. Niko Hey. Dimitri Come in. Niko Thank you. [Faustin sits at the end of the room, snorting coke.] Dimitri Lay off that stuff. Faustin Why? Dimitri Because it clouds your judgement. Not now, it's not the time. Faustin My judgement. That's a good one. I'm a fool. A drunken fool. Dimitri Niko's here. We're going to go take care of that guy. I take it you won't be joining us? Faustin Make him suffer. People forget pain so quickly. Dimitri You need to calm down with that stuff. Faustin Calm? Why? So I can be like you, Mr. Barbiturate? Always so fucked up on painkillers you don't give shit? Dimitri You need to calm down. Faustin Where we would be now if I was calm like you? Dimitri Let me guess, in a prison camp in Siberia. Or selling hash to tourists in Red Square, or still in the navy? Which is it today? Faustin Be careful, Dimitri. Be fucking careful. Dimitri You be careful... you're getting crazy. Faustin That's the way it works. I am angry, you are calm. I scare, you reason. It works... Dimitri Yes, but you've angered the wrong people. Faustin Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah... Dimitri Too many bodies, too much attention. We'll be dealt with... if we don't start playing by the rules. Faustin I've angered people? Me? Not "we". Strange. When I give out money, it's "us". When I have to push people, it's "me". All alone. Don't think I cannot see through you. After all we've done together... Dimitri You're getting delusional. Look, we have to go. Faustin [hugging Dimitri] I fucking love you. Dimitri Yes, yes. Faustin I fucking love you... Dimitri I know this. Faustin Yeah. But you treat me like a child. I run things my way, Dimitri Rascalov. My fucking way! Get out of my sight! Or I fucking kill you! Dimitri I'm not saying don't run things your way. I'm saying be calm. Here, take a couple of these... [Dimitri sets a small drug bottle on the table.] Faustin What are you still doing here? I said get out of my sight! [Faustin throws the bottle at them as they leave.] Dimitri We're going to that sex shop on Hove Beach. Dimitri This guy has been making porno in his basement and he didn't cut Mikhail in. Niko Least he could have done is sent over some tapes. Dimitri You know how much money there is selling this stuff online? A whole fucking heap. We're going to ignore what Mikhail said and try not to kill them. Taking a bite of this pie would be very profitable for our operation. Niko I got no problem with sparing some lives. Dimitri No, it's Mikhail that has that issue. Can't keep his finger off of the triggers. Wasn't always like this though. Things got to him. Niko I hope it don't get to me. Niko Am I helping pick out a porno for you? I think you know best what you like. Mikhail said something about men suffering. That sounds like some sick shit. Dimitri Funny. That ain't it. These guys are making the shit loads of cash, and we ain't seein' any of it. Word is, they've started their own porno site as well. Niko You guys are getting protection money off of websites now? What, you stop them from getting viruses? Dimitri Mikhail gets a taste of any money that gets made in Hove Beach. It doesn't matter that it's online. Niko I'll keep that in mind. Dimitri Yeah, you will. Especially since you got rid of Vlad, our fucking debt collector. Niko Shit, well now it looks like you got me to settle your business. Dimitri Where's your boss? Guy What do ya mean? He's uh... Dimitri In the back? Guy No, no, no, he's... Dimitri They better not be filming. Guy No, they just havin' a meeting. I swear... Dimitri Get out of the way. [Dimitri shoves him to the ground and walks in back.] Guy Fuck... [In back, Joseph, Brett, and their other friend are watching TV.] Joseph You see, they don't make 'em like that no more. That's a vintage bush. If it wasn't for that, I'd say this weren't worth transferring to DVD. [Dimitri walks in waving a pistol around.] Dimitri Hey, Joseph! You think you can expand your business interests, make these pornos and sell them... Joseph Woah, woah... Dimitri And we won't know about it, huh? Joseph We was just waiting 'til the books was closed at the end of the financial year. Then we was gonna cut you in. Dimitri Your books are closed until you pay us our cut. Niko, take this and cover Joseph. [He hands Niko the gun.] Joseph We ain't making that much cash. Dimitri Is that a fact? Maybe we can't pop you, Joseph. But we can fuck up one of your boys. Brett Listen, big guy. You got a great look going on, real strong. We could put you in one of our films. Dimitri Shoot this scumbag in the leg. Brett Hey man, please? Go easy on me. Come on, big guy? Dimitri Come on, Niko. Put a cap in his fucking leg. Joseph Alright, alright already. Brett was just trying to be friendly. Shit, he'll be outta action for a couple a weeks. Dimitri You got some money for Mr. Faustin? Joseph Fine, here you go. We ain't gonna have the... [Joseph hands over a wad of money. Dimitri knocks him out with another pistol.] Dimitri You should have thought of that earlier. Friend [on his knees] I can't die today. I got something special in these pants, I need to show it to the world. Dimitri Fuck, why couldn't you make this easy? We're out of here, Niko. Dimitri We're going to an alleyway off of Dillon Street in Schottler. Dimitri I want to buy you a present. Niko Will you wrap it up and put a pretty bow on it? Dimitri Screw you, we're seeing a friend of mine who's got a good line on weapons. It's underground. A backroom place. There are a few around the city. The Mayor has a real hard-on for gun control. Niko Guns don't seem that controlled. I seen plenty and I just got here. Dimitri And now you'll know where to get them for yourself, what's the problem? [to phone] Mikhail... I know you didn't mean it. That's alright... I didn't kill Joseph, we will make more money with him alive... [translated] Shit! Mikhail... Mikhail? [to Niko] Fuck! You're lucky Roman don't try to make you kill someone every two seconds. Dimitri We're going to a gun shop. Niko Hey, I heard about these. Big American Supermarket where you can buy any gun you want. Ammu-Nation, right? Shopping carts full of AK47s... I might buy flame-thrower. Dimitri That is another part of America. Here, in Liberty City, there is no such thing as the Ammu-Nation. Buying guns is illegal. In fact, the Mayor of this city tries to shut down Ammu-Nation shops in other states. This is because guns from them have ended up on the streets here. Niko So, what's this gun shop? Dimitri It's underground. A backroom place. There are a few around the city. Useful if you know about them. Niko Yeah, could be. Depends how things go for me while I'm here. I might run into someone I want to shoot. Dimitri As long as that someone is not me or Mikhail, then all is good. Dimitri The shop is just down that alleyway. Pick out what you like. Tell them to put it on Mr. Faustin's account. Shop Alright, you don't look like a cop. Buy what you want. Niko [picks up a Micro-SMG] I'll take this one. Charge Mr. Faustin. Shop You fuckin' Ruskies are milking me dry. I ain't a cow. Niko I ain't Russian. Dimitri Drive us to Mr. Faustin's. Niko So, you and Mr. Faustin, have you always argued and made up like this? Dimitri It wasn't always like this. Mikhail was a great man. He had a temper, but he was fair. Now, he blows his top at the slightest thing. I never know who he will shoot, who he will stab. Andrei, who you met in Mikhail's basement. He was always loyal, he was a good worker, now he is dead. I guess that, that is why we need your help. Niko Remind Faustin of that, maybe then he will not try to kill me. Dimitri How is your cousin, Roman, after the incident the other day? Niko Once he learns to control his bowels again he will be good. Mikhail fucked up his guts pretty bad. Dimitri At least he's alive, eh? Mikhail don't always go for the gut shots. Niko I guess Roman's real lucky then. I wonder what big favor Faustin's gonna do for him next? Dimitri You got to remember, you killed Vlad. That angered Mikhail no matter what he said. It was very difficult for me to persuade him that a man like you could be more useful to us alive than dead. Niko You trying to tell me that I owe you my life? Dimitri No, I'm not. I was trying to tell you, that I am a man who appreciates a good business venture when one comes along. Mikhail is making enemies very rapidly, a friend like you is useful. You are a man worth having on our side. Niko Pleased to be of use. Dimitri Thank you for your help, Niko. Come to see us at the club soon. Mikhail will be cool by then. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FINAL DESTINATION (#mf2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Dimitri and Niko walk through the small crowd, down toward Faustin's corner.] Girl 1 Hi, Dimitri. Guy 1 Hey, Dimitri, I took care of that thing for you. Dimitri Thank you. I'm proud of you. Good. Guy 2 Dimitri, thank you for take care of that thing for me. Dimitri No problem. Guy 3 Dimitri, Dimitri, hey, hey, uh... met my girl, Natasha. Girl 2 So nice to meet you. Dimitri Oh, my pleasure. [Faustin is sitting in the booth with a girl at each arm.] Faustin Little delicious, my little knish... Dimitri Mikhail. Faustin Hey! My brother, and Niko. Good. Have a drink. Move up ladies. Move up. Dimitri Um... Mikhail, we've got something we need to talk about. Faustin Okay, you can have Vera, I take Katerina, come on, no big deal. Dimitri Not that, in private? Girls, can you give us a minute, huh? Please? Faustin Okay. Get out of here. Keep it warm. I won't be too long. [The girls leave.] Faustin So. What is it? Dimitri We've got police trouble. The feds, or someone are all over us. Sergei told me that a friend of his in the courts told him they've been authorized to tap our phones and they know about the pot we stole. Faustin Shit. Who is the rat? Dimitri It's no one. It's just the way we have been behaving. Making too much noise. This was inevitable. We're going to have to calm things down for a while. Faustin It's that fucking guy, yeah, I know it is. I saw it in his eyes... you know? That guy. That guy, who bought the coke... but he didn't buy the pot. Dimitri That's Lenny. He's my cousin's boyfriend. It's not him. Yes, he's a moron, yes, but he's okay. Faustin I don't trust him. Dimitri What? I just told you... Faustin He knows too much. You, kill him. Niko Are you sure? Faustin Sure? No, I am not. Right now, I am wondering if it's him or you. It could be you. Dimitri Think for a second. This has been going on for months. Faustin Think? Look where your thinking has got us. You were in charge of security. Good job. Well done, Dimitri. You pathetic idiot. You, prove you're loyal. Go, and kill the guy. Niko Don't question my loyalty. Faustin Then don't question my orders. He lives on Guantanamo Avenue in Bohan. Head up there, and call me, me personally, when you get there. Dimitri Mikhail, please, don't do this. Faustin Shut up. Dimitri I... Faustin Shut the fuck up. Dimitri I... I'm begging you... please, don't do this. Faustin I said shut the fuck up. Go. [Niko exits.] Dimitri You want to play games? Faustin Why don't you listen? Dimitri This is not a game. Faustin Hey, give me a break. Dimitri You have to play by the rules. Faustin Stop. I said stop. Niko Mr. Faustin, do you want to call this off? Faustin No, I never change my mind. I've heard he's at Guantanamo Avenue station. Go to the platform and get rid of that rat. [shouting] Shut up Dimitri, for the last time... Niko Dimitri, should I do this? Should I kill this boy for Mr. Faustin? Dimitri Just one second, Mikhail. It's nobody. [to Niko] I cannot talk just now. Do what you have to do. Niko Hey, Lenny. Mr. Faustin thinks you're a rat. He ain't taking no risks. Leonid I'm into more shit than Mikhail could even imagine. Why would I rat? Niko The decision has been made. Leonid [to guard] My dad pays you to ice crazy bitches like this guy. Guard Hold on a second. Dimitri Niko, do you know what you have done? Niko I have followed Mr. Faustin's orders, not much more. Dimitri The boy you killed was the son of Kenny Petrovic. This is a very dangerous man. He will not take kindly to this. Niko How was I to know? Dimitri You weren't. This is Mikhail's craziness. I will speak to people and see what I can do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOGGING ON (#rb09) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Niko - come see me at the depot. There is someone I want you to meet. Rom Roman [to radio] Well just get there! [to self] Damn these people... [In the corner, Brucie does ridiculous exercises.] Niko [enters] Hey, Roman. Who's the steroid junkie? Roman Brucie - have you met my cousin? Niko, this is Brucie. We met online. Niko Oh... Lovemeet.net? Brucie No! In a dark corner, doing dark deeds, we're both players, my friend. Players. VIP. For real. Classy, but... also sexy... that's how I like my women. I work at it, so they should too, right? Roman Ha! yeah. Niko What is he talking about? Roman Brucie's a dreamer... he understands my vision. Niko Oh, so he's an idiot? Brucie Hey! Roman Aha ha! Screw you. Listen, man... you should try going online. Niko I know how to go on the line. I just haven't done it here. Roman Of course. Technophobe. Luddite. We gotta get you online - it's a world of opportunities! Niko Such as? Roman All kinds of things! Yesterday I was online and I discovered a blog about women who don't like to shave. That's pretty important. Listen, I promised Brucie I'd go out with him - can you go out and get it sorted? Go to Tw@ and register on one of the PCs there. A pretty girl is expecting you. I'm bored of not being able to email you, cousin, and the family keep sending me news for you. Brucie. Brucie Yeah! Roman Stop exercising. [Brucie ends a handstand.] Brucie Let's put some bitches to the sword, VIP style! Come on! [He walks out.] Niko He's a cool guy. Roman Yeah... [Roman leaves.] Niko [translated] I know how to use the Internet. I'm not a fool. Niko Hey there... my name's Niko. My cousin, he told me to come here. Alejan Roman? He call me about you. He so funny. I set you up on that computer already. It's easy. Just follow the instructions on there. Ok? Roman Niko, my friend Brucie has a business proposition for us. Niko He going to pay me to pump him full of steroids and tell him how great his abs are? Roman No, he can take care of that all by himself. Brucie is a major motor head. He's going to send you emails about all the cars he wants and you're going to get them for him. Niko What're you going to do? Roman Come on, I made the introduction. I'm the manager, man.

And good to know you in this country, by my side - the Bellic boys showing the world what is up. Man, if our two idiotic, useless, bullying fathers could see us now! They'd turn in their miserable graves! Fuck them. We made it, man. This country is ripe for the plucking. I'm really glad you're here. Listen - we are going to take this shit over, baby! See ya later Roman Have you been stealing Brucie's juice, cousin? We should try to get out of debt first. Get realistic, cousin. I fucked things up in the Old Country. I fucked things up in Europe.

What are you talking about? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NO LOVE LOST (#mf3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ilyena I told you where she is. Faustin Where is she? Ilyena I don't see why it's such a problem. Faustin I tell you. I want you to keep an eye on her. [Niko enters, Sergei holds him back while Faustin argues in the kitchen.] Sergei Hey. Stand over here. Faustin I'm out making money all day. Ilyena Why are you being like this again? Faustin How many times do I have to tell you? Keep an eye on the fucking girl! Ilyena How many times do I have to listen? [translated] God! God! Faustin Fucking girl! She's your daughter! [translated] Have your prayers been answered? Ilyena Oh my God. Faustin [translated] Your God doesn't give a damn about you! Just like everyone else. Ilyena You're a terrible man! Faustin You superstitious old crone. I'll see you in hell. Someday I'll crucify you... [He leaves the kitchen.] Faustin Niko Bellic. Yes. Good name. Good name... Where is Dimitri? Sergei He's busy, er... he said he had something to do. Faustin Something? Something? Let me tell you something. Me and this guy, we were in the army together, we were in prison together, we are like brothers. Now it's always something... Niko Always something... Faustin Always something, yes... you want a drink? Niko No, thank you. Faustin Well, I do. [Faustin drinks, pulls a gun out of a cabinet, stares off at the wall.] Niko You alright? Faustin What? Niko Mr. Faustin? Faustin No! I'm fucking angry. Niko I'm sorry to hear that. Faustin Let me ask you something. You know her? [holding up her picture] Niko No. Faustin Good. Because if you did, I'd fucking kill you. Niko Why? Faustin She's my daughter. Ungrateful bitch. I bring her here. I spoil her rotten. Raise her well. Look at this. Look. [gesturing at his house] Look what I've given her! Niko Yeah, yeah... she's, uh, very lucky to have such a loving father... Faustin She is. She's an out of control bitch. [to Ilyena] Because of you, you pathetic mess. But I don't accept my daughter turning into a whore. Niko, she's at Firefly Island. Go there. If she's meeting up with that biker pimp boyfriend... kill him. [Niko leaves.] Faustin Find Dimitri for me. Sergei Okay. Faustin Have him call me. Sergei Sure. Faustin Go. Sergei Alright. Anna Am I property of the Lost now? Jason Ha... if you were property then all the brothers would get to share you. I want you all to myself. Niko Get away from Mr. Faustin's daughter. Jason Fuck you, this ain't Russia and we ain't communists. Anna Tell my father I can see whoever I like. Jason I'm gonna get the brothers, and we're gonna kick your fucking ass. [Several Lost bikers drive up alongside, Niko following from far back.] Jason Hey, let's mess this commie asshole up. He fucked with me, he fucked with all the Lost. Niko I've killed the biker. I don't know how happy your daughter will be. Faustin I don't care about her happiness. I care about discipline and loyalty. Thank you, Niko. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RIGGED TO BLOW (#mf4) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Niko knocks, presses the doorbell.] Niko Hello. Ilyena Hello. Niko Is Mikhail home? Ilyena No. He's out. Niko Okay. Should I wait ouside? Ilyena No, no, come in. Niko Oh, thank you. Ilyena You're welcome. [He enters.] Ilyena Sit down. Niko Thank you. Ilyena You want some tea? Niko Sure. Ilyena Mikhail doesn't let me use this anymore, says it makes us look like barbarians. Uncivilized. Like immigrants Niko Oh yeah? Ilyena I know what you're thinking, it is a bit funny coming from him! He did not used to be like this. When we were young, at home, he was beautiful. He was happy... he made me happy. But um... then something changed... years ago. I never quite knew what it was. So many years I wondered what it was. Or what was wrong with me, that I did not see it in him, or... I changed him. Niko Life is complicated. I... I never thought I'd live like this. Ilyena No? Niko When the war came, I did bad things. And after the war, I thought nothing of doing bad things. I killed people, smuggled people, sold people. Ilyena And you don't worry about your soul? Niko After you walk into a village, and you see fifty children, all sitting neatly in a row against the church wall, each with their throats cut and their hands chopped off, you realize that the creature that could do this doesn't have a soul. Ilyena God is very complicated. You mustn't give up hope... Niko Well, I don't know about that. [Dimitri and Faustin walk in.] Dimitri [translated] Hello, Ilyena. Ilyena [translated] Hello. Faustin What is that? I tell you one thing and then you ignore me! You stupid bitch! [Faustin throws the tea pot from the table. Ilyena runs from the room.] Faustin Niko Bellic, baby... good to see you. Niko Yeah, you too. What did you want? Faustin I want you to teach people to listen to me. Dimitri You want him to get us the money. Faustin Fuck the money. Dimitri Mikhail, please calm down. We're already in a lot of trouble. I don't know if I can smooth things over with Petrovic. Faustin Fuck him, and fuck you. Who are you? My daddy? Get the fuck out of my house. Dimitri Mikhail! Faustin Get out. [Dimitri leaves.] Niko So, what do you want? Faustin This prick who owes me money owns a garage in Chase Point. I want you to pick up a truck and take it to him. Call me when you get to the truck. It's in Schottler on Montauk Avenue. Go. Get out of here. Niko Mr. Faustin, I have the truck. Faustin Drive it over to the garage on the corner of Guantanamo and Windmill. Park up inside. Niko Sure. What am I delivering? Faustin When it's inside, trigger the explosive. Should blow up good. Maybe you be careful on the drive over. Is pretty volatile stuff. Niko Explosive? What the fuck? Roman Niko, it's Roman. We should go and get drunk together. Niko Roman, I'm nervous enough about driving a truck full of explosives around the city for Mikhail Faustin. He's out of control. Anyway, I'm sorry but if I get drunk with you and then drive this thing I'll definitely blow myself up. Catch you later, cousin. Owner [to phone] Kenny, Kenny, look. The garage... [translated] It's burning. Everything is gone... No, Mr. Petrovic, this was definitely not an accident. My whole fucking business... Niko I've blown that place up, but don't pull that shit on me again. Maybe I don't want to drive around while sitting on an atom bomb? Faustin I thought you were the ice cold killer? I thought nothing scares you, man? Pussy. Hasn't anyone got any balls? You and Dimitri, you'd be nothing without me... nothing. This is how you treat me... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE MASTER AND THE MOLOTOV (#dr1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We need to talk. I'll be on the Firefly Island Boardwalk. Your friend, Dimitri. Niko Dimitri. Dimitri Hey. Sit down. Niko What's the problem? Dimitri What do you think? Niko Mikhail. Mr. Faustin. Dimitri Uh huh. You're given a choice, kill your best friend, or die... what do you do? Niko And there is no way out? Dimitri Not now. Not after you killed Petrovic's son. Niko You don't have any family. You could run. Dimitri Wherever you go, people will find you, if they want to badly enough. And for this they want blood. Niko But you and Mikhail, you have so much history. Dimitri Sure. Niko Well I killed the boy, so they want me too. Dimitri No. I told them you were a hired gun. And they said as long as you were the one to kill him, you'd be spared. Niko So that's the way it is? Dimitri Yes, that's the way it is. He'll be leaving his house in a little while and heading for the club. Do what you have to do... You know, if there is one thing I have learned, it's that we must obey the rules of the game. We can pick the game, Niko Bellic, but we cannot change the rules. See you later. Niko - there can be no mistakes with this. Mikhail is a dangerous man. I have left some protection for you around the side of the club. Your friend, Dimitri. [As Niko walks in, two of Faustin's men come forward to stop him.] Faustin Niko. Niko Bellic. You and Dimitri are taking over, no? Niko This is not about taking over. You brought this on yourself. You pushed things too far. Faustin You would be dead if it wasn't for me. That is what Dimitri wanted when you killed Vlad. Dimitri, my brother. You see this? [He holds up his palm.] Faustin This tattoo says we are brothers for life, and now he betrays me... Niko You didn't give him a choice. You should have been calm. Faustin No one, not Dimitri, not anyone tells me to calm. You think Dimitri would have survived prison without me? He'd just be some prison queen, had I not been there. Meat for some gym monkey! I am not dead yet. Some are still loyal to me... Guards! Faustin Betrayed, betrayed by Dimitri and by you. Too kind, that's what I was, too kind. I let the snakes into the nest and they destroyed everything. I gave them everything and they took everything from me. Now they've sent you to take the only thing I have left. You have me cornered. There is nowhere for me to go. Niko You betrayed yourself, Mr. Faustin. [Niko shoots him in the knee, then in the chest. He falls back over the edge of the roof.] Niko Faustin is dead. Dimitri You did a good thing. A hard thing, but a good thing. Hopefully this will mean peace with Petrovic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RUSSIAN REVOLUTION (#dr2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Niko Dimitri, you got my money? Dimitri I have it. Meet me at the warehouse on Mohanet in Downtown Broker. Come alone. Jacob Alright me breda, me hear dem Russian is seriously vexed wit ya. Niko I only pissed off one, he's dead.

But I just wanted to say how grateful me and my bosses are for what you did. Niko Good. Dimitri Yes. And I just wanted to check something with you. Niko Okay. Dimitri You are Niko Bellic, correct? Niko What is this? Dimitri And you used to work the coast in the Mediterranean, smuggling people into Italy? Niko I don't know what you're talking about. Dimitri But you messed up... and left a lot of bad debt. You left a good friend of mine out of pocket, big time. [Bulgarin steps out from the shadows, and several Russian mobsters begin to surround Niko.] Bulgar Hello, Niko. Niko Hello... Mr. Bulgarin. Jacob [to self] Ras. Dimitri Where's our money? Niko I don't know. I didn't rob you. Bulgar Really? Niko We were busted a mile off the coast. I had to swim for my life. I don't know what happened. I nearly drowned. Bulgar My heart is bleeding. Niko I did my best! I didn't fuck up! Bulgar [translated] Remove him. Niko Shit, Dimitri and Bulgarin are leaving. Can you hold these men while I go after? Jacob Just easy man!

You got them rude driving skills to get I and I away from there! Keep ya head down and keep in touch. Easy - LJ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROMAN'S SORROW (#rb10) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roman [quietly] Niko please come and meet me in the alleyway off of Hopper Street in EIC. Quickly cousin. Niko Roman, what are you doing? Why are you whispering? I will be there soon. Niko Roman? Roman? Where are you? Roman [muffled] In here. I'm stuck. Let me out... Niko Shit, man... [Niko opens up the trunk of his cab, and he gets out.] Niko What are you doing in there? Roman I got scared... people started calling the house and hanging up. You weren't answering your phone! What happened? Niko We've got a big problem. Dimitri was not a man of his word. Roman So we're dead? Niko More or less. Roman Everything was fine before you... Fine and now this. Thank you. Thanks a lot! Niko [translated] I'm sorry. Roman [translated] Whatever. What's done is done. Niko Yes, but there's a bigger problem... Roman What? Niko That guy I owed money to, Bulgarin. Roman Yes, the guy in Europe... who lives by the Adriatic. Niko Yeah, yeah, he's here now. Roman Great. Niko I'm sorry... I've ruined your life. Roman No. Don't be like that... we can find a way out of this... bunch of idiot Russians... Niko I will kill every one of them. Roman No... that's exactly what you won't do. We don't have time for revenge. We can't afford it. Niko What can we afford? Roman We can lay low... and start over. Please... come on, let's go back to the apartment. Roman We can pick up our stuff, and then get out of here. I'll call Mallorie, she might have somewhere we can hide out. [to phone] Hey beautiful... Listen, me and Niko are in a bit of trouble - need to get out of Broker a few days. Any of your cousins have a place we could use out in Bohan?... You're an angel - beautfiul and kind. I love you. We'll see you there. [to Niko] Maybe things are not so bad. Niko This, I did not expect. Roman I was thinking about getting out of the cab business. Last night I had a dream... Niko Really? Roman Yes, you and I had a place of our own. A place where people come to eat and relax. A classy place. None of this fast-food, diner bullshit. We own a real restaurant, a tavern. It is a place of distinction, you know? Niko I can't see myself settling down. Roman Not now, but in the dream you've met the right woman. She is beautiful. Pure like my Mallorie. In the dream Mallorie and me are married. Everything is perfect. This could be the start of that. A fresh beginning. Niko All I know is we have to get as far from Dimitri and Bulgarin as we can. Roman We will, but I have left something important at the apartment. Something I must show you, cousin. Roman Is simple, we go and collect our stuff from the apartment and the depot. Then we shut everything up and get to Bohan. Niko What are we going to do in Bohan? Pick up the whores on Chase Point? Maybe they will let us live with them in their crack dens. Roman Even I would not go with those hookers on the point, cousin. You know what you can catch from those girls? Niko I always put a saddle on a horse before I ride her, Roman. I won't catch nothing. Roman You are a sick fuck, cousin. No wonder half of Broker wants you dead. Niko I am glad you have a sense of humor about this now. It was just a joke... about the whores, you know? Roman Sure it was, Niko. Sure it was. I will add that to the long list of your secrets that are safe with me. Anyway, you will not have to become some crack whore's pimp. I get Mallorie to arrange place for us to stay in South Bohan. She has her local connections. Niko Great. Roman Holy fuck, it's fucking burning. The whole place... I've got to go in, I've got to get something. Niko Leave it, cousin. This place is gone. Roman They burnt it... they fucking burnt it, Niko! Roman Do you know how long it took me to get a place of my own? You got off the boat and I was here for you. Niko I know you were. Roman I get here and I had nothing, nobody. I worked my way up from the fucking dirt. Roman I've got nothing left. Not my home, not my business, nothing. They took it all. Niko I'm sorry, Roman, I'm really sorry but we have to go. We'll meet Mallorie in Bohan. You still have her. Roman And you, for all the good you've done me. Roman Do you know how long it took me to get set up here? You don't because it was easy for you. You had it all from day one. It took me months to get some cash together. Finally I bought a cab and then another, then I got the depot... I slept under my desk at that place for over a year... then I got the apartment, the apartment you thought was so shitty. Well, it doesn't matter. Now it's gone along with everything else. Niko I said I was sorry. Roman You have a lot to apologize for. Since you got here I've had my computer smashed, I've been beaten up, I was kidnapped and then shot in the stomach, my apartment got burned down and so did my business. Things have been going so great, just great, since you showed up. Niko You remember that time we went to the bar back home and found it razed to the ground? Just a pile of rubble... everything smashed, except for that one bottle of vodka. Roman Yeah... we sat down and finished it off there and then. Wait... wait... I don't want to talk about back home. We're here in America now and I should be thinking about my life here, my life which is ruined. Just drive, shut up and drive. [to phone] Hey beautiful, what's up?... No, what do you mean?... I haven't been crying, it's my allergies. Niko's wearing this new cologne... Yeah, trying to impress Michelle or something. We're coming to your cousin's, are you there?... Great, see you in a bit, beautiful. [to Niko] My dream, it was just that... a dream. I can't have the tavern now. I have nothing to buy it with. I have, I have nothing. Niko I told you, you still have Mallorie. Roman But I wanted to really have her. I wanted to marry her. Niko You can still do that. Roman I had bought her a ring. That is what I wanted to show you. It was a beautiful ring. It was worthy of her. Now I have nothing! Come on, Roman, pull yourself together. You've been here before. Positive mental attitude. Come on. Niko At least they want me dead and not you. Roman I do not think it would be much difference to them, Niko. One dead Bellic will give them a little bit of happiness while they wait for next. I do not care though. We are in this situation. We must deal with it. Bring on Bohan. Niko Okay. Roman Do diamonds burn, cousin? How about gold, will that melt in a fire? Niko Roman, you sound like you did in those emails you sent me before I arrived here. Diamonds and gold? I am sorry that your worldly possessions have been destroyed, but you were not that rich a man. There were not diamonds and gold in that apartment. You probably would have gambled them away if there had been anyway. Roman You add these insults to the injuries I have already suffered. Cruel, Niko, cruel. I do not speak of diamonds, but of one diamond and a band of gold. This was the engagement ring I bought for Mallorie. Niko You and Mallorie are engaged? Roman No, we are not. I was going to propose to her but it is no longer possible. I do not have a ring. It burnt in my apartment along with everything else. Niko You do not need a ring to propose. Mallorie loves you for who you are, not for some ring. Roman You are still new here, cousin. You do not understand. America is about showing what you have, you express yourself with money you spend. Niko What are you expressing when you spend your money at backroom card games? Roman I do not spend money at these games, I risk it for reward. I risk my bets to win more so I can spend on the hot cars and the sharp clothes and my beautfiul Mallorie. Now, I have nothing to spend... nothing. Oh yeah, I have you. Great. Niko You have your life, Roman. You have a life which is worth a lot more than mine at the moment. Bulgarin and Dimitri shall not be happy that I survived our meeting. Roman You know what? I think maybe they might get me when going after you. That seems like the pattern of events since you got here. I am the one end up feeling the pain after you piss people off. Niko I'm sorry, Roman. I tell you, I am sorry. I guess you cannot escape your past. Roman Shit, man. You're right. You cannot escape the past. Only thing is future, right? Must think about the future. A new apartment in South Bohan, another business, a bigger diamond for Mallorie. The future, yes? Niko Only thing I see in my future is more people trying to kill me. And, perhaps, a date with the man I came to this city to find. The man who betrayed our village. Roman Here we are, the beginning of our new lives... again. Roman Not so bad... I mean, I don't think we'll be impressing women with our wonderful hot tub, but, err, this looks okay... Niko Yes, great! Roman Come on, what's... what's wrong? Niko What's wrong? What's wrong? Where should I start? Alright, I'll start with you - what's wrong with you? Fifteen minutes ago you were cowering in fear because you didn't know what was going to happen. Now, you know everything is shit and we are going to be killed, and you're all cheerful. I don't get it! Roman I guess I'm an optimist. Niko An idiot, not an optimist. Roman I was bored of Broker anyway! I'm glad you turned up and made some Russian killers burn down my home and business! Oh yeah, thanks Niko! Thanks a bunch! Is that better? Niko Much! [Mallorie runs in.] Mal Thank God you're okay... both of you. Niko We're fucked - we're broke and on the run. Mal No, I'm from up here, Niko. I know a bunch of people who might be able to help out. Why don't you come and meet me at the community center later on? I've got to go to work. Bye, Pappy. And have a shower - you smell a little, erm, mature? [She leaves.] Roman So... I guess we start again. Niko Sure. I'm going out. Dimitri Niko Bellic, we did not find your body with the others in the warehouse. Mr. Bulgarin and I were very disappointed. Niko I was loyal to you, Dimitri. Why did you turn on me? Dimitri You think I could survive in a cesspit of a city like this by aligning myself with a bottom feeder like you? You, who has so many enemies? You robbed Bulgarin, you killed Mikhail. You know no more of loyalty than I do. Niko You know why I killed Faustin. It was not my choice. Dimitri I will find you, Niko. I have burnt you and your cousin out of Hove Beach. I will smoke you out of any other hiding place you have in this city. See you soon, Niko. Brucie Nicky, we got to talk serious. Niko Alright man. If you want my advice, the only way you're going to get your balls back to normal is if you stop juicing or you get implants. Brucie How many times I have to tell you homie, my balls are golden. Okay? I wanna talk about Roman. He's got a problem. He's gambling like an animal. Online, in clubs, everywhere. You need to control your cousin bro. Niko Roman's a grown up. He can look after himself, Brucie. Brucie He's getting involved with some serious cats, homie. Even people I might think twice about dealing with. And I am one dangerous motherfucker, okay? Put him in Gamblers Anonymous or something. I'm starting to think he's more interested in cards than chasing pussy. And that ain't cool. You dig? Niko Sure, Brucie. Thanks for the heads up. roman@eyefind.info Michelle Niko, Listen, cousin, give that Michelle a call. I know she likes you, and you need to get some action. She's a nice girl. You've got her number - call her up. See ya later Roman Thanks for dating advice. I can think for myself, Roman. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SEARCH AND DELETE (#bk1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roman Niko, it's Roman.

Remember that, alright? Niko Okay... Brucie Alright now, Nicky, listen up. I know you guys need money, bad. Niko Yeah... Brucie This ain't a nice job. Not exactly mom and pop shit. Niko No problem, as long as the pay is good. Brucie Sometimes people fuck other people over, okay? And the people that fuck other people need to get fucked with. Especially people that go into hiding, before they can get on the stand and put a lot of guys inside for a lot of time. Niko What? Brucie I need you to whack some people, only they're in hiding. Niko How do I find them? Brucie Man, you're cold. You didn't even blink! Love that, I fucking love that! You gotta steal a police car, get on the computer, gimme a call. They're easy to hack. Niko Not really. Alright, Brucie, I'll give you a call. Brucie Ice cold man! Ice cold! Niko I'm here. I have a computer. Brucie You're a badass, man. I love it. Now this cat's name's Lyle Rivas. Type it into the computer and you should get some "known whereabouts" and shit. I'd take him out myself but when people see me coming they fucking run, man. Know what I'm saying? Cats don't want to mess with someone packing twenty-four inch guns like mine baby. Yeah! Niko I'll track down this Rivas. Brucie Cold, man... I'm feeling chills down the phone. Call me when it's done, bro. Niko Lyle Rivas? I got a message from Brucie for you. Lyle Brucie? I thought he was fucking joking... shit. [Lyle hops out the window and runs for his car.] Niko You should not worry about Rivas any more. Brucie Lethal, man. A lot of people are going to be very grateful that certain people who fucked with them can't say things to other people or fuck with anyone anymore. If you get me? Niko I get the money you're paying. Brucie You're all about the cabbage, I mean, the lettuce, the lettuce! Ice cold, man. I love it. There'll be some more work when you need it. Ice cold motherfucker like you should look into doing some vigilante work for $, bro. Cops are outsourcing that shit to private contractors. Check it out next time you hack a Police Computer. - B ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EASY AS CAN BE (#bk2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bro, come see me at my crib in BOABO.

Niko Any risks? Brucie Nah. Easy as can be. Niko Okay... I'll just go take care of it, then. Brucie Yeah! [Brucie hops back into doing workouts as Niko leaves.] Girl Bye. [Niko gets in the car. Two other cars pull up at opposite ends of the alley.] Niko No risks Brucie? Maybe this juicing is fucking with your head. Guy 1 He trying to take Lyle's ride. Guy 2 I'm not gonna let you take this car. Niko Brucie asked me to bring this by, you're lucky it looks as good as it does. Lenny Only thing Brucie thinks is good looking is himself. In the mirror. Thanks. Niko The car is in your lockup. It was not so easy. People were waiting for me. Brucie Shit man. If I'd known it'd be like that then I'd have gone to get it. People don't fuck with Brucie. I mean, you're cool though. You made it man. You got them mad Red Army driving skills. I'll sort you out with some big rims... spinning ones. Crazy original styles.

The cousin of that guy you killed, Lyle Rivas, owes me a lot of money. And the dick won't pay. Instead he's said he's going to have me killed, that bitch. Hi-ah! [Brucie headbutts the wall, leaving a large blood stain.] Roman Brucie, you got to chill. For real. Brucie Yeah, yeah, yeah... Roman Now listen, NB, this guy is in hiding. But - he's a serious co... Brucie He's a serious cockhound. Niko Oh. So you think of me. Brucie No! But the guy knows me, and I don't think anyone would date that fat Slav. Roman So, I'm just doing your profile. [on a laptop] Niko Alright, let me see... I am a "vulnerable guy who needs to be held by big strong arms"? Roman Yeah. Niko You got to be kidding me! Roman I knew we should have made him a giver not a taker, Brucie! Brucie Oh, shut up! Now listen, Nicky... I need you. And I will pay heavily for this. Niko Okay. And Roman, cousin? You're a dick. [On his way out, Niko jumps at Brucie just to make him flinch.] Brucie Ahh! Nicky! Niko Alright, man. I'm at the internet cafe. What now? Brucie The website is Love-meet. Go to it, bro. The guy you want a date with is using French Tom as his screen name. You're an animal, man. Eat him alive, okay? roman@eyefind.info Thanks Niko, Listen, thanks for doing that. I didn't think you'd mind dating a guy after all that time in the merchant navy. Brucie is really grateful. He'll be a good contact for us. Anyway, listen, I know you'll be mad, but I've been having a run of bad luck. The thing about luck is it changed, so maybe you can bail me out? Nothing crazy. Think of it as an investment. I hereby make you a minority shareholder in R.B.E. - I'm the C.E.O. - we're in business, cousin! See ya later Roman Roman, how are you ever going to rule the world if you gamble every cent you get away? You're a moron. Stop gambling. You don't have bad luck, you have bad judgement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...OUT OF THE CLOSET (#bk4) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Niko, have you heard from your boyfriend yet? Check your email at the TW@ internet cafe. Rom NB - you been on your gay date yet? I know you want to do it! Don't be nervous and check your emails. - Rom frenchtom68@love-meet.net RE: Date Request with French Tom Hello there! Just saw you were interested in yours truly. Get in line. To be honest, my inbox has been filling up every ten seconds since I put up the ad. I was just sending out a load of rejections when I saw you, and you don't look like the other guys. Well, you don't seem poor or fat so that's a start! This boy is too good for those losers. I mean, come on! How about you stop by the 69th Street Diner in Hove? Bring your wallet, because you are picking up the check. I'll wear a red rose. I'm usually there around [time]. Ciao, Tom Rivas I'll be there. - N Maybe some other time. - N frenchtom68@love-meet.net RE: Date Request with French Tom Hello! I had no idea how many poor and ugly people there were in LC before I started this internet dating thing. It's yuk! Should have stuck to picking up closeted politicians at Hercules. At least then you can squeeze a few g outta em while getting satisfied. Anyway, you're the best of a bad bunch on this site so I can forgive what you did before. Come by the 69th Street Diner with your wallet and maybe I'll forget about how you just wasted my time. I'm usually there around [time]. See ya later, Tom Rivas French Hey, are you my date? Thank God! You never know who's going to turn up when you've met someone online. Niko Yeah. All sorts of sickos can use the internet. You have to be careful. I'm Niko. French So Niko, what do you do? Niko I do a lot of things. What's your job? French Job? Job? Everyone's talking about this Job guy. I haven't met him and I don't want to. Mr. Job sounds like an asshole. Niko Really. What type of man do you want to meet? French One with a lot of money. Do you know Gay Tony? Runs Hercules and Maisonette 9. I'll tell you a secret; he pretends to have the dollars but he's broke as hell - the loser. If there's one thing that I hate more than fat people and cripples, it is poor guys. Niko Is that why you borrow money that you can't pay back? French What're you talking about? How the fuck do you know who I pay and don't pay back? Fuck you, bitch. You ain't miss thing. You can't tell me shit about who I am. Niko I'm just here to do a job. People in this world need to work. And my work is getting rid of you. French I wouldn't fuck a scummy immigrant like you anyway. Brucie How was your date, bro? Niko Not so good. I don't think we'll be seeing each other again. I don't think he'll be seeing anyone. Brucie Nicky, you're an animal. Anyway, your profile is still up there, bro. There's all sorts of crazy bitches on that site you can get into. Real freaks, you know? I'd be getting involved in that internet dating shit but I only date models, you know? Or VIPs who could be models. Not many of them online, yeah? Catch you later, big guy. Laters. Read about your "hot date" on the Liberty Tree website, bro. That shit says you looked older, you gotta get some work done. Bro, I got shots the whole time. Don't get ashamed about looking good. - B ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NO. 1 (#bk5) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Niko Hey, Brucie, what's up?

Stay strapped bro. [hangs up] Niko Your friend is fine with us taking it? He doesn't think we're going to trash it or nothing? Brucie Stevie knows that he can trust Brucie with anything. He'll look after shit. Trust Brucie with anything but your girlfriend, man. And you can't be so sure he'll look after her. At least not the way you want her to be looked after, you get what I mean? You know? Niko That's real cool, Brucie. Brucie I'm just joking, man. Brucie wouldn't fuck another man's bitch. He's got too many women after him already to waste time with taken pussy. Niko That's good to know. I'll definitely ask you to chaperone any girlfriend of mine. Brucie Who are you kidding, Nicky? You and me aren't girlfriend types. We... we see bitches but we can't get tied down. We gotta get out there bro. Spread our seed in as many fields as we can. Niko I don't know. If I met the right girl sometime... Brucie That's what I say when people ask me if the juice has given me funny balls, you know? How would I be able to get with so many chicks if my balls were funny? Come on, man. Think about it. Niko Brucie, I don't need to think about your balls, I'm cool. Brucie Here we are, see what I mean? Sweet. Brucie We're going to dominate this shit. Dominate man. I've got good feelings about this. We're gonna win this for sure brother! Niko Yeah, you got some faith in me Brucie. Brucie There's no other place than first, Nicky. The rest of that shit don't count, ok. I got the best body, I get the hottest pussy, I ride the flyest cars. I'm number one, man. I'll burn your village and eat your children. I'm fucking intense man! Niko Yeah, intense is the word. Brucie Here we be. You ready to feel the Gs? Your skin looks really rough man, you had some help? A little botulism special there? I like that homie. You want a shot when we get back? Niko I'm fine. Brucie Intense, intense, I fucking love you man. Number one. Good driving. How do I look? Pretty good, right? Niko Yeah, pretty good. Brucie Take me back to my apartment, man. I'm feeling jacked. I wanna hit the weights. Now. Brucie You know what Niko, you can keep this car. You earned it and I can't have my boy rolling in anything but serious genetically different winner style, you know? Niko I thought it belonged to Steve? Brucie Fuck Steve, you are the man, man. You are number one. You won this shit anyway. I'll give Steve the bitch. Niko The bitch don't work too good. Brucie Don't worry about that. Brucie has the magic fingers. They only touch prime engines and hot models. No cellulite. Okay VIP only, read my lips, I'm a winner. And when they touch. Shit, they work some serious magic bro. Niko What is it that you do, Brucie? Are you a mechanic? I don't get it. Brucie I'm a businessman, an entrepreneur. I make shit happen. Niko Sure, but you seem kind of legit. Why do you need guys killed? Brucie Of course I'm legit. Have you seen my delts? That shit is as legitimate as it gets! Niko What about those guys you need killed? Brucie Fuck Nicky, you know Brucie. He's number one. It's lonely at the top. Sometimes, the juice, it just takes control, okay. The red mist descends and I need shit to happen to people. Niko Are you talking about fucking 'roid rage? Is that why I killed those men? Brucie They were bad cats, Nicky. Maybe the juice meant I wasn't as patient as I should have been. But you know, as a businessman, I can't let people get away with that shit. I need to be firm. Niko Look Brucie, I like you and I think we should hang out but I don't want to work with you no more. I can't go around fucking people up because you've over done it on the juice. Brucie Alright, Nicky, man. I'm feeling you, ok? You don't wanna let our business thing get in the way of our personal relationship. That's all good man. Niko Cool. Brucie You're an animal, Nicky. I love you. I love you so much that you can have this car. Take it, as a gift. Niko Hate to break it to you Brucie, but this car ain't yours to give. Brucie What's Stevie's is mine man, it's all cool. This car is a weapon. Take it out on the town and use it on the bitches. Alright? They'll fall at your feet bro. It'll be a massacre. A fucking feeding frenzy. Niko Yeah, I can't wait. Brucie You know what I call this thing? A weapon of mass seduction. It's good to keep this kind of thing around, you know? A bitch sees your cut body - she's interested. Then she clocks you dropping the readies at the bar - she's real interested. Now, you take her home in this thing - it's over. bitch don't know what hit her, man. Niko What hit her? That could be your date rape drugs kicking in. Brucie Funny, man. The only drugs I roll with are the 'roids man. And they ain't even drugs. They're not even bad for you. It's like a hundred percent natural. People say I've got 'roid rage but that's fucking bullshit. Bullshit! Bullshit! Niko No. No rage at all. Brucie Maybe those guys I got you to kill. Maybe another person wouldn't have done that, alright? But, fuck it. They made me angry, so you iced them. That ain't 'roid rage. That's just the way shit works. Niko It sounds like you got me to kill a load of guys because you were juicing too hard. Shit, man. You're cool, Brucie. I like you. But I don't want to work for you no more. We can hang out, but I'm not killing anyone else because you've got the rage. Brucie Alright, Nicky. Alright. You wanted some money and I helped you out. That's all good. I like the fact that we're just gonna be friends now. You know? None of this money shit to get in the way. Niko Sounds good to me. Brucie Nicky, I feel like we really bonded back there. I'm close to you, man. You let me inside. You let your armor down, you know? We had a moment, man. Call me and we'll hang. Niko Sure we did. Brucie Nicky, you animal. The guys we raced the other day want a rematch. They liked your shit, man. Niko Cool, I guess. Brucie Any time you want to race, give me a call and I'll hit you up with a location. Peace, man. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ESCUELA OF THE STREETS (#me1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Jay's trying to film Manny and the dancers behind him.] Jay This is the one, man - we're gonna get a really nice shot of them, it's going to be beautiful.

Manny Just wait 'til you see your face on the screen, man. Maybe you change your mind then! Niko I always wanted to be a well-known idiot. Manny People say to me, "Manny why you do this? Why you want to clean up the streets so bad? What's your passion?" Niko Do you tell them "To get famous."? Manny It's for the love, man. They know me coz I help people, man. I'm all love for these streets. Niko Apparently the mob teaches people to stay two car lengths behind a target. Manny I don't know why the people out there want to hurt people man? Want to hurt these streets, man. They live and breathe. You cut them and they bleed. Man, that was good. I should write that down. You got a pen? Niko I am afraid not. Manny How come whenever I say something that really sings. You know, when I really start talking the truth, how come Jay's not around man? He should be filming me every second. Niko He's not around because I'd break his camera if he shoved it in my face again. Manny Chill, Niko. You got to get used to being filmed man. You think Jesus started breaking shit up when those disciples followed him around with a bit of parchment. This film is my gospel, man. The gospel of the streets. Shit, how about that for a title? "Manny's Street Gospel" man. I wish I had a damn pen. Fuck, man. Manny Looks like he about to stop yo. You best pull up behind him, man. Follow him into that warehouse and get rid of the dealers. Niko I thought you were going to clean up the streets? Manny Hey, the message is what's important, man. It don't matter who gives it. I for one ain't in this shit for the ego trip. You taking my money, aren't you? Be my voice. I'm gonna go back and get Jay. When the streets closes a door, they open a window. Get up in that shit!!! [Niko walks out behind Manny.] Jay [to camera] The fearsome street warrior stands outside the site of another gangland massacre. Oh... Manny Yeah... 'sright... Jay Cut. Manny What? Jay Okay. Manny What? Jay [to Niko] Oh, oh, oh, oh. Could you walk out of there just one more time? We need to get the shot just right. Manny Oh yeah, yeah, that's a good idea. Niko I can put my foot through your face if you like. I don't mind doing that again and again until I get it right. Manny Oh, oh, easy, easy Niko. [to Jay] Hey did it look good? Huh? Was it a good mixture of sadness and resolve? Jay You looked great. Manny Great, yeah, let's do it. Jay Okay from the top? [Niko walks off.] Manny Yeah, right here. Wait... where are you going? Jay [to camera] More senseless death and the police aren't even here yet. "Help" has only one name on the streets of South Bohan - Manny Escuela. Manny That's right, follow me, but be prepared. Street life ain't pretty. [They enter the warehouse.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STREET SWEEPER (#me2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jay Okay guys, I just want to get one more shot please.

Francis Keep doing what you're doing. Manny Thank you Officer. Thanks. [Francis leaves.] Manny Yeah, you know, it was a real big thing for me, you know what I'm sayin', a real street cat, to start working with the gatekeepers of the community to make things better. I mean, where I'm from, out here, man, police is a dirty word man. Niko Manny - I got things to do... [to Jay] You, off. Manny Yo man, I was getting my flow on, man, I ain't rapped for years. I was one of them cats who invented that shit man, it went commercial. Niko Yeah, like charity work? Manny Shit man, I'm the voice of the streets, man. Yo, if I'm gonna make some money, that's the way shit's gonna be. Niko Alright, I'm just saying. Manny Whatever man, fucking punk... Niko Huh. Manny Yo, listen, homeboy, I need you to do me a favor man. Listen man, I need you to help me out man. I need you to get some bitches taken out, moved on, whatever. Cause yo, I promised Mr. McReary I was gonna get this place cleaned up and I will. Niko Okay... how many? Manny A bunch man, a bunch. They're hanging out and making bad shit happen all over South Bohan man. They're over on Windmill Street right now. Niko Alright. What did they do? Manny Man, they disrespected the codes of the streets, man. The streets man. They owe you man. They owe you big time. Niko As long as they pay. [Niko leaves.] Manny [to Jay] Over here man. Jay I'm on you. Manny Yo, that's what I'm saying man. The streets, we got codes man you know what I'm saying. We live by these codes. You know what I mean? Niko Manny, I got rid of your street problem, now help me out with my financial one. Manny It's all business with you kid, but that's okay. Money's what makes these streets sing, man. I'll call you when I got more work. Stay safe. Stay real. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LUCK OF THE IRISH (#et1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mal Hey Niko, you tired of Manny yet? Niko I was tired of him as soon as I saw him. Mal I've got someone else who might have some work for you. Elizabeta Torres, she's got an apartment on San Quentin in Fortside. Meet me there. Lizzy So I said if that' sthe way you want it amigo, then that's what you're gonna get. And that shut him up. Packie Fucking punk. [Mallorie walks in the door with Niko.] Jorge Oh. Hey. Como esta? Mal Hey, how's it going? [Jorge holds back Niko for a moment.] Jorge Oh wait, espera. Mal Jorge, he's with me. Liz, this is Niko, Roman's cousin, and Niko, this is Elizabeta. She's an old friend. She'll give you some work. Lizzy Okay... thank you, Mal. So, tough guy, you know about this business? Niko I know about protection. What do you need? Lizzy I need someone no one knows to oversee a deal I'm not sure about. Niko Easy. Lizzy I think it'll be a bit more taxing than hanging with Manny on "the streets". Niko Not so. For one, I won't have to listen to him talk. Lizzy [laughing] True! Hey Niko, this is Patrick - Packie McReary. Niko Alright. Packie Hey. Lizzy So... Packie is shopping. But I've never trusted the people he's buying off, and I can't, in good consciousness, help him... unless he's got some extra insurance - you. Packie And that's why you're the best, darling. Lizzy Ah. Maybe... Packie Alright, tough guy, let's do this. Niko Sure. Mal See you later, Niko. Niko Goodbye. Mal And will you call Michelle again? She really likes you. Niko Yeah, yeah. Jorge Buena suerte. [Niko and Packie leave.] Lizzy So, he seems okay. Mal Oh, he's totally cool. Yeah, he's like family. Niko Where we going? Packie I got this meeting over on Joliet Street. There's a rifle up on the roof of the place next door. You need to go up there and make sure nothing goes wrong. You'll see me and my boys show up in a bit. You're my guardian angel. Niko You don't trust these guys you're doing the deal with, how come you trust me? Packie You got a good luck about you and I'm lucky with my gut feelings. Niko Those dealers double crossed your boy, but I managed to keep him alive. Lizzy Mallorie was right about you. You are good. I have some more work for you. I'm sure Packie is pleased as well, ah? Roman Niko, how're you finding things? Have you got enough to do here in Liberty City? Niko Yeah, I think I've got enough on my plate at the moment, Roman. Roman Well, if you need some down time go hang out at the apartment and watch some American TV. It is much better than the shit we got back in the Old Country. Niko Most of the shit on TV in the Old Country was from America, don't you remember, Roman? Roman Then watch the TV here and get nostalgic, I don't know. Later on. Jacob Wha'gwan me bredren? You been chilling wit Elizabeta Torres? Niko She pays good, man. You know her? Jacob Yeah man, me know her, Niko. Even Badman's scared of that girl there. Niko Should I not be doing business with her? Jacob Nah, man. She's a real good business woman, ya know star. Just don't get pon her wrong side. Seen? Later on. Me call ya. Mic Hey, Niko. Mallorie tells me that you are working with Elizabeta Torres now. Niko Do you two know each other? Elizabeta seems to have a lot of friends. Mic That's because she's a dealer, Niko. Junkies like the people who supply them with drugs. You aren't getting involved in that world, are you? Niko I'm trying to avoid it, Michelle. Maybe I do a few errands for Elizabeta. Nothing serious though. I am no dealer. Mic If you need help with anything, Niko. Just speak to me. If you want to get something off your chest... I'm a good listener, you know? Niko I know Michelle, I appreciate your concern but I can look after myself. I'm a big boy and I must make my own decisions. See you soon. Mic Yeah, Niko. See you soon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLOW YOUR COVER (#et2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [A dozen people are dancing around.] Lizzy Aww yeah ha ha. Woo ooo! Yeah! Oh, looking good from here! [Niko enters.] Lizzy Hey, Niko! Niko Hey! Lizzy [to dancer] Uh, I'll catch up with you. [to Niko] How you doing? Niko Good. And you? Lizzy Surround yourself with cocaine and the assholes soon follow... Hey, Johnny! Johnny Yo! Lizzy Come over here. Come here. Johnny Yeah! Lizzy Niko, this is Johnny. Now, Johnny is sitting on a big pile of heroin. I don't go near the stuff... professionally... but I found him a buyer. We're nervous. Will you oversee the deal and check everything is cool? Niko Sure. Lizzy Thank you. Johnny Well, I got to go pick up the stuff so, uh, I'll see you there. Lizzy A'ight. [Johnny leaves.] Lizzy So, who else do you need to meet, huh? Do you know Playboy? Niko No. Lizzy Hey! Playboy! X! Ha ha! This is Niko. Hey Niko, this Playboy. PB X Whassup, money? Lizzy Playboy is going along with you. I want as many people around this deal as possible. PB X Bet. Are you ready to bounce? [Niko nods.] PB X Well come on then? Lizzy Later. [They leave.] Dancer I am the best, I am number one! PB X We going down to Cassidy Street in Schottler. Niko Does Elizabeta get you to do stuff like this often? PB X Elizabeta don't get me to do shit. I just like to keep an eye on things. There ain't a deal in this town I don't know about. I own this city, for real. Niko Yeah, well how come we haven't met before? PB X You obviously ain't been big time. I started small like you, player. Slinging rocks on the corner, sticking cats up, all type of shit. Them was the old days. Now it's all about diversification. Niko A heroin deal is your way of diversifying? PB X Money talks. Money say jump, cat say how high. This is a cash deal. I got other shit going down as well. Niko What type of shit you got going on? I'm always looking for work, if it pays that is. PB X I pay like a Shlongberg Sachs bonus, bitch. It's Christmas every day when you're rolling with this nigga. Niko So, you got work? PB X Not yet. I got to set shit up. But I'll need a cat like you real soon. Gimme your number. Niko Tell me about that biker, the one with the smack, Johnny. PB X I ain't working with that cat but I heard about him. He doing all type of crazy shit. Blowing sutff up. Them boys, the Lost, they in some heavy type of gang war is what I heard. Crazy whiteboy shit. Think only one group can grow beards and ride bikes in this town. Niko It's a big town. PB X Not big enough for some people. What that other gang called? Death Angels or some shit. Anyways, be careful of this cat. Don't even want to look at him the wrong way, crazy motherfucker. Niko You scared of him? PB X I ain't scared of nobody. All them bikers is racist as shit is all. PB X So, is you Russian or something? Is you like one of them oligarchs or some shit? Niko I'm not from Russia, no. PB X Nah? You sound like you coming outta Russia with that accent. That all good, money. Russia's big right now. Rabbit fur hats, Cherenkov vodka, I love that shit. The amount of... what you call dollars in Russia? Niko I never been to Russia, but I think their money is called rubles. PB X Hell yeah, the amount of rubles being dropped up in Liberty City is a joke. I want to get my hands on some of that shit. I don't care about the exchange rate or nothing. I want to be spending rubles like you gangsters. Niko Yeah? You short of money at the moment? PB X You think I'm short of paper? I just helping out on this deal because Liz is my business partner. She my SoBo connection, hooks me up when I need her to. That why I look after her when she need me to. Niko Is that how things go? PB X For real. That's how shit works up in here. America is the business capital of the world 'cause that's how we roll. Me and Liz are entrepreneurs. Shit, if the deal makes paper, I do it. Niko I like to make money, but there should be other considerations when you into business with a person. I have learnt that at a price. PB X True that, that right. I ain't no slut, jumping into any nigga give me the eye. Playboy's in bed with Liz because she got the hookups. That's probably why you rolling with her too. Maybe I could use a boy like you on team Playboy. Niko You got work? PB X For sure. Let me hook up with your number. You got a cell, right? Niko Yeah. PB X Gimme them digits, we see if we can make shit happen. PB X The crib's on the 3rd floor. Buyer is some Asian dude called Charlie. Niko Like in Vietnam? PB X Just like the movies, money. Niko Hey, you ready? Johnny Sure, let's do this. Nothing like selling some dope to let you know you're alive. Niko Let's go. PB X Yeah, let's do this. Johnny Alright, c'mon. [They walk into the room.] Charlie Hey... what's going on guys, what's going on? Johnny Not much. Let's do this. Charlie You've got the heroin? Right? Right? Johnny Come on, let's do this, quickly. Charlie But you've got the heroin, correct? You're carrying it, correct? I mean it's a simple question. Johnny What's wrong with you? You're being fucking weird. Charlie Not weird, man. I just wanna know if you're carrying the stuff right? Johnny You ain't right, friend, come on... let's get out of here. [Niko, Playboy, and Johnny run out as Charlie pulls out a gun.] Charlie LCPD. Freeze motherfucker. I said freeze. PB X Yo. They gonna expect us to go out the front with that biker dude. We gonna hit up the roof. You clear out the floor above first, money. PB X Yo, money. We going down through this sucker. You want to start rolling with me, drive me back to my crib in Northwood on X. PB X Shit man. I'd a fucking died instead of being caught by them feds. You take a bid on a heroin beef you ain't seeing light for a long time. You rotting up in that shit. Niko Yeah? PB X A future in a max security pen ain't no future at all. You forget about them cats that do that sort of time. Niko Any of your friends on the inside? PB X My man Dwayne Forge is inside on a crack beef. He showed me some shit back in the day but shit... When he gets out, if he ever does, it won't be the same world. Niko What's different since this guy's been doing his bid? PB X Shit changed. There be more to it than the crack tip nowaday. There be the smack tip, the rap game, X, chronic, meth... shit, I'm looking into expanding my horizons. Niko Yeah? PB X For sure, reach for the stars and all that shit! I don't see why a young kid from the hodd can't make something out of himself... Street cats like me just get labeled as pimps, and pushers, and stickup artists. Niko But you are a drug pusher? PB X That just what I'm doing to get out of the ghetto. I don't see it as dealing drugs. Drugs is just one arm of my business. I'm buying and selling that shit like any commodity on the trading floor. Niko Only this commodity is illegal. PB X Yeah, but Playboy is going legitimate. I wanna be one of them developer cats. Build me some skyscrapers. See my name in big bold letters. Niko Yeah, I thought you would want to build schools or something. Help young black men get out of the ghetto. PB X Shit, that'll come. Got to get me successful first. PB X Playboy X don't like coming that close to being taken down. Niko Playboy X? What's the X stand for? PB X Shit, I don't know, all type of shit. Niko Like what? PB X I ain't gonna use no fool's name, hell no. X is a fuck you to them fools who thought they owned me. Fucking federal government. Niko Like Malcolm X? PB X It's like X marks the spot. That's coz I was always on the same corner pushing weight. Always on the same spot so X. Niko Sure. PB X X is like extreme. Extreme bitches, extreme money, I always take things to the next level. Get involved in some extreme shit. Change the game. Niko Really? PB X It's like extra large as well. All type of bitches be calling me that, yeah. Niko I bet they do. PB X Should be like double X or triple X or something on that one though. Niko Here we be, money. I'll hit you up when I need your ass. Roman This is great news, Niko. I got the insurance money for the cab depot burning down. The stupid bastards thought it was an electrical fire, not arson. Niko Maybe it was an accident. Roman Ha, ha. Yeah right. I've put the money into another cab depot. Bellic Enterprises is up and running again. Next stop - floating on the BAWSAQ. I'll give you shares, NB. Later on. NB. Hit up Perseus in Algonquin. All the VIPs go there, bro. Get yourself some fucking bling clothes. You're genetically different, bro. You gotta get the packaging to match.

Niko I've heard you'll take care of them? Doctor Natural causes? Niko Of course, seems like a bullet in the head is as natural as it gets in this town. Doctor They weren't sick, were they? Niko No. Doctor Had a few problems with sick bodies. No one wants a liver if it's riddled with tumors, huh? Know what I mean? Niko No. Doctor Shit... looks like the bullet went right through this one's eye. And the price of eyes is through the roof at the moment. Niko Fine. Can I leave you with these or what? Doctor Sure.

Roman So what's happening in your world at the moment? Met anybody interesting recently? Niko Other than the community leader and drug dealer that Mallorie introduced me to... neither of whom are doing too good no more, yeah, I guess I have met some interesting people. Roman Please tell me you are talking about twins and bleached blond hair and D-cup titties. You're a wild man, NB. Niko I'm afraid I haven't met these women of your dreams, Roman. No, I was referring to a Deputy Police Commissioner called Francis McReary, an Irish hood called Packie, an African American drug dealer who calls himself Playboy X, some outlaw biker guy named Johnny, and a doctor who buys dead bodies so he can sell the organs. If you're losing money at the tables you might be able to sell some body parts to him for a quick buck. Roman How much does a kidney go for nowadays? I'm kidding, NB, kidding. Sounds like you are having a crazy time. Talk to you soon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DECONSTRUCTION FOR BEGINNERS (#px1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yo money, sumthing's come up.

Dwayne, we gotta roll. Please make yourself at home. Hell. This is your home. [to Niko] Let's jet, money. Dwayne [to self] Motherfucker must think I'm a idiot. PB X We going to Castle Gardens. There's an alley we want to hit up just off the South Parkway. PB X Alright, you heard a Yusuf Amir? Big real estate developer. Niko I don't know. I've heard a lot of names since I got here. This guy's a big developer? Are you and him having meetings about how to run the city? PB X Not yet, but I got an idea about how me and him can get friendly. Some italian dudes has shut down his building site on some union bullshit. They all up in the place, strapped to their fronts with hardhats on and shit. Won't let anybody get near it. Niko What are you suggesting we do about it? PB X You gonna go in there and get them Mafia types off the site. Meantime, I'm gonna tell Yusuf how good we been to him. That cat and me is going to be tight as two cellmates on lockdown after this. Niko What's in it for me? PB X I'll give you what you after. Cold hard cash. That what you chasing, right? Niko Amongst other things. I don't know how good your plan is though, Playboy. I'll get rid of the guys on the site, then won't there be more? If it's a union problem, doesn't that make it bigger than a few guys with guns? PB X Shit, 'union' is just another word for Mafia. These cats is looking to squeeze our boy Amir for dollars just because he ain't from here. When we fuck their people up, they'll realize that he ain't a cat to be messed with and they'll back off. Niko Okay? PB X Shit, Yusuf is from Dubai. He's an African, an he's comin' to Liberty City to make it big. It's my duty to watch this cat's back. My ancestors came from Africa, now he's coming out a bit later. Me and him could be cousins, shit. Niko I think you might want to look at a map, Playboy. Dubai isn't in Africa. PB X Shit, it all the same. Africa, America, Dubai. It don't matter, we're brothers, spiritually I mean, and that's the important bit. PB X This is my ticket to the big time, baby. I'm about to make it, for real. Niko Yeah, how's that? PB X You know Yusuf Amir, the big real estate developer? Well, I heard on the grapevine that he's run into a heap of trouble with some union cats. This shit is Mafia run and they all over his construction site with guns and shit. They stopping Amir from sending in the scabs. Niko How's that mean you've made it? PB X Because I'm a clever motherfucker. I'm using my God-given intellect. Yusuf is in some problems. Playboy is going to come in there and help him out. Make the Mafia cats go away so the workers can come in and everything will be cool. Niko You're going to have to be a pretty persusaive guy. That's if you're hoping to talk a bunch of Mafia owned union officials off of a building site they've shut down. PB X I don't gotta be the persuasive one, money. You do. I saw you handle yourself for Elizabeta the other day. You goin' to go in there and clear out those motherfuckers. Niko You're not getting involved? PB X No man. I'd just confuse shit if I went in with you. There's all types a' scaffolding and shit in the construction yard. I'm gonna get into a position where I can see everything goin' down. I'll tell you where the cats are at and who you need to look out for. I'm your eyes in the sky, money. Niko This sounds like a pretty bad deal for me, don't it, Playboy? PB X Shit, you doing this for a paycheck. I'm givin' you them dollar bills, and when Playboy pays, he pays big! You getting that mad money on this one. Niko Okay. PB X I left some heat for you in that car, money. You going to be strapped - sniper rifles, grenades, all that shit. There's also a radio headset in there, so me and you can keep in communcation. Yo, there's three lookout cats making sure no one makes a move on the site. You best take them out with the rifle before you hit up the rest of them. I'm gonna get into position where I can see all the shit going down. If you can take out the main cats then the rest of them shouldn't be a problem. When you in there, I'll give you the lowdown on where these main cats is at. PB X You might be better seeing the lookouts from up here too, money. PB X Shit, I needed to find a cat like you. A badass ma'fucker who ain't afraid to take fools down. Niko Yeah, well I need money so you're in luck. PB X You gonna kick some ass down there, boy. I'm backing you up. Niko This is getting awkward. Talk about a slow lift. PB X That all them lookouts gone, money. Get in there and free up the site. Niko See you soon, Playboy. I'll try to save a grenade so you can have fun with one, too. PB X [by headset] Alright, you in, money? The first guy is on the scaffolding in the building to the east of the yard. PB X Shit, you a cold motherfucker. Next guy is south of your position, up a few stories in the next building. PB X I knew you was the right Slavic killer for this job. There's a cat in the south west corner of the yard by the water. Get him. PB X The last guy is to your east. Shit, money. You best watch yourself. There be more of these Mafia cats turning up. Niko Thanks for the warning. PB X Yo money. There's a chopper turning up. I think our boy is making a run for it. Get him good. Niko I'll do my best. Niko I got rid of all the union problems on this site. As you can see, this place is going to need a cleanup before any workers come in. PB X You the money, son. Yusuf's PA won't put me through to the cat. But when they hear about this shit they gonna start listening to Playboy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PHOTO SHOOT (#px2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PB X Wassup, money? Niko Not much, how are you? PB X Chilling... s'all good. Well, mostly good. Niko Mostly? PB X Yeah, Dwayne's been getting on my nerves... pushing me, man. But whatever... we spoke about that shit already. Niko Give him time. He's just out of prison. PB X For real... listen, G. Dwayne ain't the only thing I got on my mind... Niko No? PB X No... Some motherfucker's been calling me a phoney, calling me a snitch, calling me all kinds of bullshit. Niko Big deal... PB X Yeah big deal. Damn right! Until I discover, that same motherfucker? Well... he's got some real loose lips. [Playboy knocks a ball in on the pool table.] Niko Not bad. So, you need this guy silenced? PB X Yeah. He hangs out with his team near the courts on Exeter between X and W. Niko Okay. What does he look like? PB X Well, son ain't too diesel or nothing, he a regular lookin' dude, nahmean? Now he don't flash his guap too much, but you can see it in his eye, that he a hustler. Niko Eh? PB X Homie ain't too brolic, but he ain't scrawny neither. And he be stylin' on 'em a little, ya dig? I mean, he ain't too bummy, but he grimy too. Niko So he's the average one? PB X Look. He's brown skinned, B. Motherfucker be rockin' baggy clothes and all that - jewels, and he stay fresh with the clean sneakers, nahmean? And sometimes a bandana. Niko Look. I need more than that to go on. PB X Jesus. [hands over phone] Here, take this, head down there, take a photo, send it to me, and I'll point out which one of them motherfuckers it is. Niko Fine. PB X And that's a little gift for you. Guy 1 ... and that's why the Penetrators ain't doin' nothing this season. They got no one who can work the lanes, man. Marlon Shit, Lieutenant, that's something I was forced into from the necessity of my financial situation. My body is forced to rob and deal in order to sustain my own well bein' and that of my immediate family. PB X Marlon's the one dressed like a damn canary. Wearing that yellow jacket and shit. Get rid of him. Niko I'll do it. Niko Marlon is dead. PB X You the man, son. You money. You my ice-cold Slavic killer! See you soon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RUFF RIDER (#df1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PB X Yo money, I appreciate what you doing for me. There be so many fake cats out there. You remember my man, Dwayne? Niko Sure, just got out of the pen, old friends aren't paying him no mind. PB X Yeah, that's what he think. He got friends all over the shop but he living in the past. I need you to go over to the Governor Greg Johnson projects over in Northwood, he holding up there and needs help with some shit. You assist his broke ass, I'll send some paper your way. I owe that fool - ain't payback a bitch? Peace out, money. Dwayne Oh, it's you. You alone? Niko Yeah. How you doing? Dwayne Fucking great. What you think? Niko Yeah... it's hard living with the past. Eh? Dwayne Yeah. Especially when the present has turned into an asshole. Fucking bitch... nobody wants to roll with me no more. It's like I'm tainted. Niko What do you mean? Dwayne Playboy don't wanna hang no more. He pays for you to come instead. My girlfriend, the love of my fucking life... man, I was pulling moves in the joint so this bitch could pay the rent. Now, she won't answer the phone. Man, I gave her everything when I was inside. Cars, houses, apartments, bank accounts. Everything. I heard she hanging with Jayvon now. Niko Who? Dwayne Some punk who fucking talked. He swears he wasn't involved in me going down, but I knew. I knew his ass was lying. Now motherfucker's fucking my girl? For real? Shit is fucked up, man. Sometimes I just wanna end this shit. Just... bam. [aims gun at head] But I ain't there yet. Not quite. Niko Listen, why don't you go talk to her? Dwayne Ain't shit to say. Niko Then I'll go speak to both of them. I'll ask for your money back... and if they don't agree, I'll make them. Where do they hang out? Dwayne At some arcade in Chinatown. Uh, look, man, don't bother. Niko No, I'll bother. I'm getting paid. And besides... you remind me of me. Dwayne Uh huh. Niko Hey, are you the two snakes who played Dwayne Forge when he was in the joint? He wants his money. Cherise What? Dwayne must a finished his bid. Shit, he going to be mad angry. [Jayvon begins firing at Niko, then takes off on a bike.] Cherise Don't kill me. I know I fucked Dwayne over real bad but he wouldn't want me dead. He too much of a gentleman for that. He ain't like that Playboy X punk, he's only chasing paper. You do right by Dwayne he gonna stick to you for life. I didn't mean it. Girl get lonely when her man's inside for a long time. I thought Playboy was gonna look out for me but he didn't answer my calls. Punk didn't wanna know me. I did what I did to survive. Please. I don't wanna die. Come on! Dwayne wouldn't ever hurt no one he loved, even if they screwed him like I did. Please. I'm only human. Come on. Niko She was going to say anything to get out of that. No getting out of it now. Niko Dwayne don't need to worry about having that girl's blood on his hands on top of everything else. Niko Hey Dwayne, I've got your money. Why don't you meet me at Cluckin' Bell so I can give it to you? Dwayne Great. Thanks, son. See you soon. Niko I collected on that debt for you. Dwayne They paid up? I guess my name still means something out there. People still know me. Niko I had to explain things to them. They didn't listen so good. Dwayne You slept Cherise? She were a bitch, weren't she? This fool falls real hard for them. That's why he gets burnt. Thanks for getting this paper, Niko. It helps. Niko I collected on that debt for you. Dwayne They paid up? I guess my name still means something out there. People are still scared of me. Niko They are, I got rid of Jayvon for you but I let your ex go. Dwayne That fool Cherise? She just couldn't help herself. She always told me she'd burn me good. I guess I shoulda listened. I'm happy she ain't dead, though - she's just an idiot. Peace, man. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UNDRESS TO KILL (#df2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Niko Dwayne? Dwayne Sup, man? Niko Not much. How are you doing? Dwayne I'm done... I can't cope no more, man. I mean, prison was easy compared to this shit. Niko I'm sure it was. Dwayne Fuck it, man. Fuck it all! I mean, I used to have everything. I used to run uptown. Bohan, all that shit. Now, I ain't shit. Niko Hey, let's get it back. Dwayne No. I can't man. I ain't got the energy no more. I been stabbed in the back too many fucking times. I mean, there's bitches everywhere. Niko Well, I'll do it, for you, I mean. Dwayne Nah, fuck that. Niko Come on man, stop being so miserable. What did you lose? Dwayne Shit, man. This club... I'm talkin' a real gentleman's place. It's called the Triangle Club, on Drill Street in Bohan. I'm talkin' real class, you know what I'm sayin'? But when I went down, some fucking gangsters came and took it. Niko Well, I'll clean out the squatters for you. No problem. Dwayne Man, you the real deal. I owe you. Niko Big time, but we'll talk about that later. Dwayne Man, you the truth. Brucie Yo. Yo. Yo. Yo. Niko, it's Brucie baby. How about we go check out some naked bitches. Niko Sorry Brucie man, I'm about to go see some naked women but this time it's business not pleasure. We have to hang out another time. See you. Niko Nobody's going to be partying up in your club anymore. Dwayne Playboy ain't gonna be happy. Niko What you mean? Dwayne He still did business with the gangsters that took over. Screw that. They fuck me, the fucked - right? Playboy gonna feel that shit. Niko Sure thing, man. PB X Niko, tell me it weren't you that shot up the strip club in Bohan. Niko You asked me to help out Dwayne, that's what I was doing. PB X Don't help him out when it fucks up my business interests. Damn, son. That ain't cool. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE HOLLAND PLAY... (#px3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PB X Niko, shit is getting fucked up. I need to see you at my crib. Niko How did the big real estate deal go? PB X That cat ain't got no vision, wants to shut down the site and shit. Make it a memorial to Union workers who've died in accidents. Man, fuck Yusuf Amir. I got bigger problems. Come see me now. PB X Wassup, money? Niko Hey. PB X Man... business is tough. I ain't a cold person. I mean, I am cold, but... motherfucker. Niko What are you talking about? PB X You want a drink? Niko Ehh... PB X Man, have a seat man. Niko Alright. PB X Now, I got into this dope game because it was the only thing open to me, man. The only thing, man. Niko Hey, I am not judging. PB X No. Listen. Now I paid my dues. Now I learned in a hard school, man... and I changed stuff, and you know me, I do this stuff so I got a chance to do some good in this town. Niko So you say. PB X So I say? So I do. When I get the money, man... I will build parks, I will sponsor kids, I will save lives... But I gotta have the money man. 'Cause all this? All this? It means nothing if you ain't got the heart, Niko. Niko Amen, brother. PB X I mean, fuck, man... Fuck! The thing is... you know Jesus? He did some crazy shit, too. I mean, everyone does. He killed people. He killed that John the Baptist cat. He did what he had to. Niko I don't think you're correct about that. PB X Man. The point is, man... history is a long time. And you only got one chance... and Dwayne? Man, Dwayne... it's like he thinks it's 1992 and [Dwayne impression] the best you can hope for is a gold chain and a pager. You know, he looks at me like he wants me dead. I took care of business. I gave him money, but because I won't bow down to him and treat him like he The Almighty, motherfucker wants to pop me. Niko Dwayne is a little troubled. He was in prison a long time - maybe you guys should talk... PB X No, I tried talking. I... I... I tried giving him half of the business. I tried everything a man could reasonably try and still call his self a man. Niko So what you gonna do? Kill him? PB X Hey I didn't say that. Man, you cold. Niko I was joking! PB X But what else is there? I mean, cat's been talking... Nah, I hear things. Said you and me was too tight now... said you disrespected him, called him mad... he's gone crazy. I mean he's gone. Prison does that. Niko Well, you can't kill him. PB X No... But you can. Niko But I don't want to. PB X Well neither do I, man. But if he goes insane, we all dead anyway. I mean, Dwayne is a killer. Niko I don't like this conversation. PB X Do you think that I do? But it's kill or be killed out there. And you got a lunatic after you? Man, you dumb. Now, I will give you a lot of money. Because see me, now I ain't scared of no one, but a motherfucker says he's gonna kill me? A motherfucker's gonna die. Niko Man, I'm not sure. I've got to think about it. PB X Well, I hope you see some sense. I will be in touch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...THE HOLLAND PLAY (#px4) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dwayne Niko, man, I'm going crazy. Since I got out things just don't make no sense. Niko Have things ever made sense? Dwayne They did on the inside. Three meals a day, time in the yard, lockdown at eight. Things out here is mad crazy. Niko Tell me about it. Dwayne On the down low, I think Playboy wants me dead. Might just let him do it, put a cap in my dome. End it all. Niko That what you want? Seriously? Dwayne Nah, fuck that shit. I ain't ready to go out yet. I need you to get him for me. I can't do it myself. He was my boy back in the day. That's something I won't be able to forget. You seem like you got my back, Niko. Help me out on this one, dog. I'll stick by you 'til the end. Take him out for me. Niko That's a pretty heavy request, Dwayne - Playboy was your best friend, and he's always been straight with me, more or less. I'll have to think about it. PB X Yo Money, don't be trifling with me. You made a decision? You going to fix this Dwayne problem of ours, yeah? Niko Hey, it ain't our problem, Playboy - it's yours. That said, I know what I'm going to do. PB X That right - you cold, Niko. Peace and love. Niko Hey, Dwayne, open up. It's Niko. Dwayne I thought you was my homeboy. That you was gonna put Playboy down for me. What you doing here? Niko It ain't that simple, Dwayne. This is nothing personal. Dwayne Fuck you, man. We was tight. You fake like the rest of them. Dwayne Fuck you, man. You a fucking snake like the rest of them. [Niko aims, looks away, and fires.] Niko I put Dwayne out of his misery. PB X You did what you had to do, Niko. You got yourself that money. Good for you. Niko You want me to come around? PB X You took down Dwayne, Niko. I see your face, I see the cat that killed my mentor. Dwayne was like a father to me. I can't be round you no more. It's over between us. I don't want no beef, but now you and me got some. So it's best if we just stay the hell away from each other, man. Fuck - you nothing but a cold hearted killer, man. I mean, where's the love? Where's your heart, homie? Man, you ain't cool. You try to find something to live for, man. Peace. Guy Yo, Playboy X! Yo, whitey's back! PB X Yo, what you doin'? You got rid of Dwayne already? I thought the old dog woulda put up more of a fight! Niko I didn't kill Dwayne. PB X Well what you doin' back here then? Step to it, motherfucker. Niko Well, I was thinking that... maybe Dwayne is not the problem. Maybe it's you. PB X Motherfucker, you think you can touch this shit? You think I got here by letting little bitches like you fuck with me? I own you, nobody owns me. PB X People respected me, I made a difference. Niko You didn't change the game, the game changed you. Niko Dwayne, I dealt with Playboy. You should know that he asked me to end you first. He was going to pay me a lot of money to do it. Dwayne Shit, man. He was a good kid back in the day. Always hungry though, always wanted more. Maybe I shoulda seen it then. Kept a closer eye on him. Niko You can't predict what people will become. Dwayne You right. I can't give you no money for helping me, son. But I got the deed to Playboy's fancy silk sheet loft. You can have it. Niko Hey man, I seen where you're living, you should take it. Dwayne Nah. It'll make me remember the kid too much. Maybe you'll stop by my place sometime though? Hang out with me? I don't have many friends left, you know. Niko I'll give you a call sometime soon, Dwayne. Later on. Niko Cousin, how are you? Roman All the better for hearing your voice, NB. You sound down. Are you okay? Niko Not really, I got caught up in an argument between a drug dealer and his drug dealing mentor. I had to choose who'd win the argument and I chose the young guy - Playboy X is his name. Now he's paid me off and is treating me like an asshole. Roman So he's treating you like a rich asshole. Who cares? Enjoy yourself. Spend the money on a clean hotel room and a dirty college girl. Call me if you want to hang out afterwards, cousin. Niko Hey Roman. Roman Hello, Niko. How's it going, killed anyone recently? Niko Now that you mention it... Roman Shit NB, I was joking. Who was it this time? Niko This drug dealer, Playboy X. He tried to get me to get rid of a friend of his for him, but, uh, I liked the friend better. Roman Niko, shit, I hope this guy is paying you good for saving his hass. Niko He just got out of prison and he hasn't got much but... I made the right decision. Roman Good, NB. I'll talk to you later on. Bigdwayne94@eyefind.info Yo Sup, Its Dwayne man. Just thought Id holla at ya on this email shit. I dont rite 2 good but shit you aint from here even so what does it matter to you. Man I don't got 2 many friends no more. These dayz is real lonely like. Y don't you and me hang out some? Kick it u no. That could be good. Out, Dwayne Sure, Dwayne. That could be good. -N Sorry, Dwayne. I'm a busy guy. -N Dwayne Hey man, did you just call me? Niko No, man. Must have been someone else. Dwayne Yeah, yeah, must have been. I was in the shower and I heard the phone ringing so I thought you mighta called or something. My bad. Later. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOSTILE NEGOTIATION (#rb11) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mal Niko. I'm getting worried. Roman didn't get back at all last night. Niko He likes to party. He stays out late the whole time. You know what he's like. Mal Not on my watch he don't. Something ain't right. Mal Niko, I think Roman has been kidnapped. I heard he owes some Russians money. A friend of mine saw him at that card club on Hunt Point. Niko He owed them money? Mal He never tells me anything. I heard they took him to a warehouse off Lompoc in Bohan Industrial. Niko I'll check it out. Niko - I thought I would send you this picture. looks like your cousin is in a bit of a fix. Your friend, Dimitri [picture] Niko [to self] You've crossed the line, Dimitri. Russian If you want to walk out of here, Slav, you are going to have to think about how you will pay your debt. A friend of mine, Dimitri Rascalov, he would pay a lot of money for your cousin. Roman I'll get you the money, just not that way. Roman Thank you, cousin. You saved my life. Niko We should get out of here. Roman There's a car. Take me home, cousin. Niko What happened, Roman? You have been gambling. I give you money. How are you in debt? Roman There are cycles, cousin. You must lose a little to win a lot. Come on. My cards were not good. Niko Roman... Roman That man knew Dimitri. He was trying to make me give you up to him. I would never... Niko Of course you would not. Dimitri has taken this too far. Roman He wants you dead. Bohan is not safe. I'm going to get us a place in Algonquin. Niko Are you okay? Roman I'm used to taking these beatings, Niko. I almost expect it now. Wherever I go there are people who want to kill me. Men, who will kidnap me. I'll never marry Mallorie. I won't be able to sleep with another college girl. There is a knife hanging over me. A clock is ticking. Niko Who were those men, what happened? That seemed like a lot of protection to be giving a man who ran up some gambling debts. Roman You're right, at first it was just the debt then they found out my name. They connected me to you and what happened at Hove Beach. Dimitri Rascalov was on his way to that warehouse, they wanted me to give you up. I would never... Niko I know you wouldn't, Roman. I thought we were done with Dimitri when we got out of Hove Beach. Both he and Bulgarin know how to hold a grudge. Roman You know how to hold a grudge as well, Niko. Don't forget about that. Niko I could never forget that, Roman. Roman We have to get out of Bohan, maybe it is time to go to Algonquin. We can disappear in Algonquin. Niko Only for so long. We will be found eventually no matter where we go. Confrontation and or peace will be our choices at some point. I know the option I am leaning toward. Roman I'd go for anything as long as I could be guaranteed safety, that's all I want. Shit.
